Kody
Brown

took
action
to
honor
his
late
son.

As
he
and
his
ex-wife


Janelle
Brown

prepared
to
lay
their
son

Garrison
Brown

to
rest
following


his
death
in
March
2024

at
age
25,
the



Sister
Wives

star
felt
it
was
important
to


dig
the
grave

himself. 

“I’ve
never
done
anything
like
this,
digging
a
grave,”
Kody
said
during
the
May
18
episode
of
the
TLC
series.
“And
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
I’ve
ever
done.
It’s
the
last
ode
to
my
boy.”

He
added,
“It
means
something
to
me.
I
don’t
know
why.
It’s
something
deeply
emotional.”

With
this
mission
in
mind,
Kody—who
also
shares
kids

Logan
Brown,
31,

Madison
Brush,
29,

Hunter
Brown,
28,

Gabriel
Brown,
23,
and

Savanah
Brown,
20,
with
Janelle—wanted
to
turn
the
“final
act”
of
burying
Garrison’s
ashes
into
a
labor
of
love.

“For
the
act
of
effort
in
this,
because
we’re
not
digging
a
grave
big
enough
for
a
coffin,
I’m
going
to
make
it
a
little
bit
bigger
than
certainly
I
need
for
this
urn,”
he
explained.
“I
want
the
experience
of
doing
some
real
effort
here.
Just
trying
to
honor
my
son
as
best
I
can.”

Reflecting
on
the
grief
he
and
the
rest
of
the
Brown
family—including
wife

Robyn
Brown,
exes


Meri
Brown

and


Christine
Brown,
as
well
as


his
other
children—have
felt
since
Garrison’s
death
by
suicide,
he
continued,
“I
don’t
even
know
if
it’s
honor.
It’s
mourning.”
