In the weeks following Garrison’s death, several of his family members expressed their heartache.
“Garrison was always the funniest person in the room,” his sister Mykelti Padron wrote in part of a March 11 Instagram post. “He was one cool dude and I cry so much because my kids will never be able to experience his fun presence. But he will live on in all my families memories. Have fun up with the stars little bro, you’re missed.”
His sister Maddie Brown Brush also wrote in part of a March 10 post, “My words seem to fall short. Our hearts our broken and we are now swallowed with the love now left behind for this beautiful brother.”
In addition, she later spoke about Garrison’s mental health struggles prior to his death and reminded fans that life on social media doesn’t always paint the full picture.
“It’s a highlight reel,” Maddie said in a March 18 video, “and that was something that Garrison and I talked a lot about. And I know my other siblings and my mom have expressed this—that Garrison used to feel like he wasn’t doing enough because he was comparing himself to things on social media. And I don’t think that it’s real, and I think we need to remember that.”
