The Rekubit Exchange"Sister Wives" are remembering Janelle and Kody Brown's son Garrison, who died at 25 this week.

In separate Instagram posts, fellow stars Christine and Meri paid tribute to their stepson with heartfelt messages.

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

Janelle Brown, Garrison's mom, posted a follow-up to her original Instagram post on Friday, writing, "I had all my children together last Christmas. It was amazing as it's hard with everyone's busy lives to coordinate time like this. I am extremely grateful now that we had pictures taken" surrounded by the family's children.

Flagstaff Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Jerry L. Rintala confirmed Garrison Brown's death in an emailed statement to USA TODAY earlier this week.

Police officers responded to a report of a death inside a home and discovered Garrison Brown had died as a result of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Rintala added that there is no indication of foul play in Garrison's death. Detectives from the department's Criminal Investigations Division are investigating the case.

Janelle and Kody Brown previously remembered their son in a pair of their own Instagram posts.
