Garrison Brown sent out a tragic text message shortly before he died. According to TMZ, who viewed official documents relating to his death, Garrison contacted people who worked with his family and spoke of “the good times.” He reportedly wrote, “I want to hate you for sharing the good times. But I can’t. I miss these days.” The depressing tone sent off alarm bells for his mother, Janelle Brown, who urged one of his siblings to do a wellness check on him. Unfortunately, Garrison’s brother, Gabe Brown, was too late. Garrison had been living with three roommates, who claimed they were unaware that he had reportedly taken his own life.
Although Gabe Brown was the first family member to show up on the scene, he was supposed to retrieve his father, Kody Brown, and bring him to Garrison’s home. As In Touch Weekly reported, Gabe planned on having Kody accompany him back to the scene after the wellness check, but things didn’t go as he planned. “After speaking with Janelle, Gabe left the scene to pick up his father and return with him to the apartment,” revealed the police report. “However, another family member went to assist, and Gabe returned a while later on his own.” Unfortunately, the article didn’t specify exactly why Kody didn’t return with Gabe, or if he ever visited the scene at all.
