‘Sister Wives’: Garrison Brown’s Memorial Service Photos ‘Devastating’: Fans </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-9_37″>Janelle and Kody Brown are parents to Logan, Maddie, Hunter, Garrison, Gabriel, and Savanah. Their family was part of a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sister-wives-family-mourns-garrison-brown-loss-leave-big-hole.html/?swcfpc=1″>larger polygamist clan</a> numbering 18 children and, at one time, four wives, featured on TLC’s <em>Sister Wives</em>.</p>
<p id=”par-10_38″>Since Garrison’s death, Janelle Brown has shared several photos and statements honoring her late son on Instagram. Her first post, with comments subsequently turned off, shared that she and Kody were “saddened” by the loss of their son.</p>
<p id=”par-11_47″>She later shared a family photo taken at Christmas, where Janelle, her children, and grandchildren were captured. Subsequent images featured Garrison’s beloved cats, which family members adopted, and a social media post from High County Humane in Flagstaff, Arizona, honoring the young man’s life and cat-dad status.</p>
<p id=”par-12_43″>The commentary attached to the aforementioned posts ranged from sentimental to sad. However, other social media users used the platform to point blame, vent their frustration toward Brown family members, and claim that reality television’s adverse effects were to blame for this tragedy.</p>
<p id=”par-13_36″>The dialogue between fans reached a heated level in a<a href=”https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=762863195945272&set=pcb.762863995945192″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”> Facebook post</a> attached to the Nevada National Guard. The military posted photos of the Brown family from a ceremony held in Garrison’s memory on March 25.</p>

<p id=”par-14_34″>Within the comments section of Janelle Brown’s<a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/C5JhVyzRHHi/?hl=en&img_index=1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”> Instagram</a> post, <em>Sister Wives</em> fans shared their support of the family. They tried to offset some of the negative commentary about the polygamist clan in earlier posts.</p>
<p id=”par-15_51″>“For every snarky comment, there are many, MANY more people praying that your beautiful family finds peace,” wrote one fan. “Janelle, we are praying for you. Snarky comments based on a reality TV show have no place in a grieving family, and we are holding your hearts,” a second fan penned.</p>
<p id=”par-16_38″>“No one has any right to make snarky comments about Kody or anyone else in that family over this loss. We only see a small glimpse into their lives on TV and social media,” a third fan explained.</p>
<p id=”par-17_24″>They continued, “No one should have to go through the loss of a child. All of them are hurting in one way or another.”</p>
<p id=”par-18_11″><em>Sister Wives</em> airs on TLC. The series is currently on hiatus.</p>
