Rallying Around Brooklyn & Honoring Brian

It is with profound sorrow that we update you with the heartbreaking news that Brooklyn Lopeman has passed away. We extend our deepest condolences to Brooklyn’s family, friends, and teammates during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts and love are with all who are grieving her loss.

On the evening of Tuesday, April 15th, Brooklyn Lopeman and her step-father, Brian Cirbo, were involved in a devastating motorcycle accident. Tragically, Brian passed away at the hospital due to his injuries. Brooklyn, just 12 years old, remains in critical condition and is currently fighting for her life.

This unimaginable tragedy has shaken everyone who knows and loves them. Brooklyn is a bright, kind, and talented young woman with a deep passion for volleyball and a heart that touches everyone she meets. Her family is now facing not only the grief of losing Brian — a beloved husband, step-father, and friend — but also the uncertainty and emotional weight of Brooklyn’s ongoing medical journey.

We are raising funds to help cover funeral expenses for Brian, extensive medical costs for Brooklyn’s treatment and recovery, and to support the family through this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward easing the financial burden and showing this family that they are not alone.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping Brooklyn and her loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. Your kindness and support mean more than words can express.

Thank you for standing with the Lopeman and Cirbo families during this heartbreaking time.
