Hunter Brown is Chainkeenpaying tribute to his late younger brother Garrison Brown after his sudden death was announced earlier this month.
The 27-year-old "Sister Wives" alum shared a carousel of photos with Garrison Brown on Instagram Tuesday. "'When tomorrow starts without me…'" he began in the caption, referencing a David Romano poem.
"I have no eulogy to give or long caption for you to read. All I can say is that I love Garrison and he has always been and will always be a huge part of my life," Hunter Brown continued. "I will forever work at being better at enjoying every moment, big or small, with my loved ones. I would encourage you to do the same!"
The late son of Janelle Brown and her ex Kody Brown was 25 at the time of his death. He first appeared on the first season of the TLC reality television program in 2010, which followed one of America's most famous polygamous families over 18 seasons.
"Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away," Janelle Brown announced on Instagram March 5.
Janelle Brown's former sister wife Meri Brown also posted a tribute to Garrison Brown and her late mother Bonnie Ahlstrom on Instagram Tuesday.
"Today, March 26, marks 3 years since the passing of my beautiful mom, and 3 weeks since the passing of our sweet Garrison," Meri Brown wrote, adding that her grief has been a "roller coaster."
Sharing her experience with loss, Meri Brown continued, "Grief is not linear. There's no timeline or rulebook to follow. It's not the same for any two people, and no two people handle it in the same exact way. I've had my share of loss, both through death and the endings of relationships, and each loss is individual and has a unique timeline of manageability."
"My timeline of grief, the way I deal with it, the emotions I feel through it, might be different than yours, and yours may be different than the next person's. Neither is right, and neither is wrong. It just is," Meri Brown continued. "Life will never go 'back' to normal after a loss, that particular 'normal' will never be again. But it will go forward. It always moves forward."
