He died by a gun and his father is a gun runner.

How many other guns that he sold killed someone?

What did Kody do? Why did he reject him??

You’d need to watch the show, but in short, he was horrible to Gabe and Garrison. Cut communication.

Would you say that could be a contributing factor to Garrison’s mental health?

I won’t say Kody and Robyn deserved this, but they played a huge part in it.

A huge one. My heart broke for him when he talked about it on the show these past few seasons.

So many of the families have been terribly hurt by TLC exploiting the families in order to build up ratings. They emphasize conflicts and film the conflicts then the reactions of multiple family members to the conflicts. Intrusively filming minor who can’t give informed consent should be illegal.

I'm sorry TLC did not exploit any of them. They all signed contracts and then people watched over and over again.

The Duggars are you kidding? That pack of crap who Mike Huckabee and Sarah Sanders love?????? Republcians sure do love their pedos.

I agree TLC didn't exploit the parents. Kody and the wives all signed up for this. But Garrison was maybe 10 when they started filming? He didn't sign up for this shit.

The smart Brown kids - Logan, Aspyn, Leon, and Maddie - hightailed it out of Vegas and only appear on the show intermittently. The dumb ones like Mykelti and Paedon basically coattailed off their parents' fame to make money. (Which is what it is. They had no say in their childhood being filmed so why not capitalize on it.) But Garrison settled in Flagstaff, even bought a house there, and I worry that wasn't far enough away from his parents' dysfunction.

So are you saying that could be a factor in his mental health?

Yes? That's literally what I just said. When you're exposed to all your parents' drama, that takes its toll on you. I'm not blaming him for not moving further away, I'm just saying maybe being exposed to the constant drama that his older siblings weren't seeing didn't help matters.

Then again who knows, Mykelti and Aspyn both live near Christine and her drama (although I guess her drama is different from Kody's drama) and they seem fine.

I agree with the other poster we don't know how big of a part though. They maybe played a part in it. Maybe it was the breakup, maybe it was the booze, who knows. I certainly think estrangement didn't help.

Don't be absurd.

Kody didn't reject him. I am not a Kody fan at all.
Kody is a disgusting POS full stop however saying he is at fault is wrong.

Suicide is horrible. Playing the blame game never helps.

Kody did reject him and Gabe. They, Gabe and Garrison, discussed it and their feelings on the show. Janelle was very concerned about them and said it publicly.

But Gabe and Garrison also rejected him back! He said he missed them so he reached out but they blocked him! Kody is not a super reliable narrator most of the time but it's possible there were enough hurt feelings on both sides that the boys dug their heels in. I would've too at that age.

Anyway I just saw a Page Six article that they plan on filming the aftermath so.

Kody stopped communicating with him during Covid. They were at odds at how he handled covid. I’m sure that has to have played some part in Garrison’s mental health. I hope Kody reconciles with Gabe now. Life is too short.

You are "sure"
Stop being an arm chair psychologist.
You have zero idea what this young man was going through.

While I am not a fan of the show, any of the adults or their "religion" blaming them is not ok. They lost a child.

You know nothing. We saw it all play out. Kody even called them a$$holes on the show. The wood splitting scene was so hard to watch.

Why do you keep asking this in response to every post? Yes. We've determined many things could be contributing factors.

You need to watch the show. Those boys begged for Kody to see them. He didn’t even allow them at Christmas. Stop defending that piece of crap of a person.

The wood splitting scene where Kody told Gabe he wanted them to come to Christmas but he was asking them to quarantine before and Gabe said if he was asked to follow rules he would just lie? That one? Yeah, I can maybe see why Kody was miffed at them if he was asking Gabe to quarantine in winter of 2020 and Gabe's response was to just immediately say "I'd lie." Kody handled it poorly from there and should've done better as the parent but I see where he was coming from.

A gun runner is someone who sells guns illegally. I don't like Kody or guns but he's a licensed firearm dealer.

Also Garrison was an adult who was in the military and was conservative according to his parents. It's possible he bought the gun himself. He was 25, I'm not sure how Kody was supposed to prevent him from buying a gun.
