The video was also shared in High Country Humane’s Saturday post by Director of Development Jane Horton talking about Garrison and his impact on the organization.

“I come at a very, very sad time, but also in a very unique situation with the departure of Garrison Brown,” Horton began. “… He was a big cat lover and was a foster carer with us, and unfortunately he took his own life.”

“… But through that grief, there was an outpouring of love from across the country from people who wanted to give gifts in Garrison’s memory,” she continued.

Horton said at the time that the organization “raised just over $25,000 in just two weeks” from supporters after Garrison’s death. “So it’s an amazing gift in his memory and a real testament to the person he was,” she added.
