Sending Love to Brad Brooks and his 3 Children

Donation protected
There will never be another person like Brad Brooks. His intelligence and kindness will
be missed by many. When he would walk into a room, his energy alone would light it up, every
single time. Everyone wanted to talk with him and bask in his kindness and easy-going nature.
Anytime something was asked of him, he would go above and beyond to accomplish it, even as
simple as giving you a hug.
He had unlimited energy and put his heart and soul into every activity he did. Whether it
was his crazy handstands, yoga, or dancing, he had a smile on his face and gave it his all. His
heart was filled with gratitude and appreciation for every encounter and conversation he had with
people.   
His outlook on life and how precious it was, was something to be admired. He will
always be an inspiration to all of us. Reminding us to live in the present. I know many of us can
recall different stories and times we had with him as he made you feel special and wanted, no
matter what was going on in his own life.
His absence has been felt by many, as he loved hard. He leaves behind three beautiful
bright children, ages 9, 14, and 17. Every time he talked about his children, his face would light
up and he would get excited to share stories about them. Our hearts are with the Brook’s family
at this time as they navigate this new world.
We have put this gofundme together, in hopes to pay for the funeral costs and to be able
to put enough aside for each of his children to attend college, if they choose to. We understand
that we are in an economic and pandemic crisis, and know that anything you donate will help.
Thank you for your love and light Brad, as we now navigate this world without your
shining light. Thank you friends and family who are able to donate, sending much love your
way.  
We want to leave you with some parting words from Brad himself, taken in a video from
a summer road trip.
“Death has a powerful influence on us to live in the present moment. It brings to mind not worth
living your life doing something you are mediocrely interested in. Take full advantage of your
passions and what you truly enjoy. Live life in whole embodiment of what you truly enjoy.”
