Janelle Brown is grateful for the good being done in her son Garrison Brown’s honor following his sudden passing.
As Monsters and Critics reported, Garrison was found deceased with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his Flagstaff, Arizona home last week.
The news shocked Janelle, the rest of the Brown family, and Sister Wives viewers, who watched Garrison grow up before their eyes on TLC.
Those who knew Garrison knew that the 25-year-old National Guardsman was a huge cat lover.
So, when a local shelter raised over $13,000 in donations honoring Garrison’s love of felines, Janelle was touched by the gesture.
The mom of six took to Instagram this week to upload a photo carousel, including two pics of Garrison with his beloved cats, Catthew, Patches, and Ms. Buttons.
In the caption of her post, Janelle wrote, “I have been brought to tears again. I’m being told about everyone’s donations to @highcountryhumane @arkcatsanctuary in Garrison’s name.”
“Thank you all for your generosity. It means so much. The cats he adopted from both agencies were so important to him. He loved being a cat dad,” the caption continued.
