“Sister Wives” star Meri Brown paid tribute to Kody and Janelle Brown’s son Garrison, who died on March 5. He was 25.

“Our family is 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,” Meri wrote via Instagram Tuesday. “This loss will leave such a big hole in our lives, and it takes our breath away.”

“We ask that you please respect our privacy during this time and join us in honoring his memory,” she continued. “Garrison, you are loved and will be missed!”

Meri used the same statement that Janelle used on her own social media account on Tuesday.

As The Post previously reported, Garrison suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. His death is reportedly being investigated as a suicide as no foul play is suspected.

Janelle and Kody publicly separated in December 2022. The exes are also parents of five other children and grandparents of three.

Garrison appeared on the TLC series “Sister Wives” since its 2010 debut. His time serving in the National Guard was documented for the program.

The show follows the polygamist family: Kody and his four wives, Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn, as well as their combined 18 kids. Meri, for her part, ended her 32-year polygamous relationship with Kody in 2022.

Christine and Kody, meanwhile, announced their split in November 2021 after 27 years of spiritual marriage. She went on to marry boyfriend David Woolley in October 2023.

Robyn remains the only woman to still be with Kody since getting legally married in 2014.
