“Sometimes it doesn’t seem like you’re gone,” she wrote on a Sept. 5 Instagram post. “And then I remember I won’t be getting a call or text from you and it all comes rushing back. I know you fought hard but in the end you just couldn’t stay. I love you so much and will see you again when my journey is done.”
Garrison’s older sister Madison also paid tribute on the anniversary, sharing more insight into the Brown family’s grief.
“My brother, Garrison, had his struggles, but this was not something any of us saw any signs for,” she wrote. “We were truly blindsided. We talked regularly, and my mom’s kids have always been close-knit, even as life changed around us. Garrison was sarcastic and witty, and in moments of seriousness, he seemed almost uncomfortable with it—like it was hard for him to be vulnerable. I miss him dearly.”
