On March 5, 2024, Robert Garrison Brown, the son of Kody Brown and Janelle Brown passed away at 25 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. This devastating event unfolded after a series of ominous texts sent by Robert to a group of people closely associated with the Brown family, signaling his distressing state of mind.
It was reported that Janelle Brown, deeply concerned by the troubling messages her son had been sending, prompted one of her other sons to check on Robert. According to the police report obtained by TMZ, the officers spoke with Janelle, who recounted Robert\’s last texts to his friend group, which read, \”I want to hate you for sharing the good times. But I can\’t. I miss these days.\”

This message, not initially sent to Janelle herself, alarmed her enough to reach out directly to Robert. They briefly conversed via text before he ceased responding. In a desperate attempt to ensure her son\’s well-being, Janelle contacted her children to see who could visit Robert. Gabriel, Robert\’s brother, stepped forward. Tragically, by the time Gabriel arrived at the Flagstaff residence, Robert had already passed away.

Further investigation revealed that Robert\’s roommates, with whom he shared the house, reported hearing a \”pop\” sound on the night of the incident but did not associate it with a gunshot. It wasn\’t until Gabriel discovered Robert\’s body, along with a handgun, and called 911, that the grim reality of Robert\’s suicide became apparent.
Robert, known to his friends for his struggles with alcohol, was 25 years old at the time of his passing. Despite these challenges, there were signs that he was seeking to improve his circumstances, having recently secured employment at a medical facility. Notably, Janelle disclosed to the police that Robert was estranged from his father, Kody.
The loss of Robert has stirred a wave of grief and reflection within the \”Sister Wives\” fan community and beyond. Fans have taken to social media to express their condolences and share their thoughts on this tragedy: \”This just breaks my heart,\” \”Just tragic,\” \”[Kody] put his son down,\” and \”Kody should be ashamed. Indirectly he\’s to blame for all of this.\”
The Brown family has issued statements of heartbreak at Robert\’s loss and asked that their fans afford them privacy during this difficult time. Many fans have sent them condolences and messages of love and support on their various social media posts.
