Robert Garrison Brown’s Funeral Has Been Held, Family Plans Further Events to Honor Him

While several Brown family members issued public statements following the loss of Garrison, they have opted to grieve mostly in private. The family laid the 25-year-old veteran to rest on March 9 with a private funeral. The details of his burial remain unknown. 

It is unclear if TLC will air season 19 of Sister Wives. While season 18 ended just a few months ago, most of season 19 had reportedly been filmed. The family has yet to speak about the future of the series. TLC has not issued a statement, either. Garrison appeared on the series sporadically since 2010, when it first premiered. He was filmed regularly in more recent seasons.
