Sister Wives star Leon Brown — whose pronouns are they/them — took to Instagram to share childhood memories of growing up with their late brother, Garrison Brown.

Meri and Kody Brown's only child together captioned the carousel of photos with the words, "To the stars, Bowen, to the stars," which is a reference to the final words Draco the dragon (played by Sean Connery) says to Dennis Quaid's character just before his death in the 1996 flick Dragonheart.

Leon shared a picture of Garrison and their siblings to Instagram.

As OK! previously reported, Janelle and Kody's 25-year-old son was found dead in his Arizona home on Tuesday, March 5. His cause of death was reported to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Per the police report, one of his roommates and his younger brother Gabriel, 22, confirmed he'd been struggling with drinking and depression prior to his passing.

Over the past week, other family members have also shared snapshots and penned touching tributes to the former National Guard member.

"Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown," Janelle wrote on March 5. "He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory."

And his bonus mom, Christine Brown, found herself digging through old family pictures to find memories of the young reality star.

"Every photo with Garrison in it is now infinitely more important than ever before," Christine captioned a post earlier this week. "I am scrambling for just another glimpse of such an incredible man, brother, son."

Garrison's cousin Emma Brown confirmed the funeral service took place on Friday, March 8, in her own memorial post shared to Instagram.

"I don’t know if I have the right words to say I’ll miss you. I wish I was able to give you a hug and tell you how much you were loved," she said. "You always made sure that I had ate [sic], and made sure I knew I could always talk to you. You were a son, a brother, a soldier, and a friend. If there is a god, I hope he’s giving you peace. I love you."
