Sister Wives’ Savanah Brown Says Brother Garrison ‘Is No Longer in Pain’ in Tribute

Sister wives‘ Savanah Brown remembers her brother Garrison Brown.

“Two weeks ago on Tuesday March 5th, my older brother Garrison took his own life,” she began in her first social media post since his death.

“It’s hard for me to understand. But now I know, more than anything, that my brother Garrison is no longer in any pain,” Savannah continued in a heartfelt tribute on Instagram on Monday.

In the post, she shared several photos of her late brother – the first was a childhood picture of him sitting in a chair, with a big smile as he held her when she was a newborn.

“Every time I see a car that looks like his on the road, I briefly wonder if it’s him on the way home from work before I’m reminded that he isn’t,” Savanah continued.

She said she thinks about her brother when she makes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and when she looks at the sky at night.

She then made a plea to others who might have the same thoughts as her older brother.

“I sincerely hope that anyone who may be reading this never underestimates how big a hole their loss would leave,” she wrote. “Persevere, for the sake of your family, for the sake of your friends, for the sake of those who love you.”

Savanah ended her post by leaving a phone number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline for anyone who might need it.

Garrison’s brother, 22-year-old Gabriel, discovered the deceased 25-year-old on March 5, Lt. Charles M. Hernandez II of the Flagstaff Police Department confirmed to PEOPLE at the time.

His parents Janelle, 54, and Kody Brown also confirmed the news via social media, calling him “a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him.”

Garrison’s other biological siblings are Madison, Logan and Hunter.

Last week, Maddie opened up about grief with a Jamie Anderson quote, writing, “It’s all the love you want to give but can’t.”

On Monday, Maddie shared another video with fans to highlight the importance of mental health.

“Mental health is very important, and I don’t think we talk about it enough,” she said in part. “And I don’t think we’re doing enough to raise awareness. It wasn’t bullying. Garrison didn’t have a lack of love, it was mental health. And I’m going to keep talking about mental health and self-care until I’m blue in the face.”

Their family also includes Kody’s other ex-wives Meri, Christine and Robyn Brown, as well as their children.
