Brooks Michael Goetz

Brooks Michael Goetz was born on April 8, 2025 to his parents, Mallory and Adam. After a long battle fighting Mitral Valve Dysplasia Syndrome, Brooks came into the world to meet his parents before going to heaven to be with many of our family and friends.

Mallory and Adam received the news in February that their son, Brooks, had a severe and rare heart defect called Mitral Valve Dysplasia Syndrome. With this being so rare, Mallory was transferred to Cincinnati Children’s to monitor baby and mom throughout her pregnancy. This included at least 2 appointments per week and multiple consultations with Boston Children’s Hospital. They fought hard for their son and looked into every possible option to help him. At 31 weeks, Brooks had gotten sicker; and shortly thereafter, Brooks had decided to rest and was no longer in pain.

The past few months have required many hours and days away from work for both Mallory and Adam. They will continue to heal for many more months to come, but we are hoping to help take some financial stress off the list of their concerns. Anything we can do to help their little family is very much appreciated. Thank you for reading their story and being supportive, in whatever way that you can be.
