On January 4, 2026, the unimaginable happened when Brooke Calnan unexpectedly passed away at the age of 37, leaving behind her three beautiful children—Maxwell (12), Harrison (9), and Annie (7). Brooke was the center of her children’s universe and lived every moment of her life for them; there was nothing she wouldn’t do to ensure their happiness and well-being. From countless trips to the zoo and beach days, to playing in swamps and mud puddles, quiet movie nights, and delicious home-cooked meals, Brooke filled their lives with love, adventure, and laughter. The devastating loss of their mom is why we must wrap these kids in a community of love and ensure they are cared for without worry.

Brooke’s passing is not only a heartbreaking loss for her family but also leaves a profound void in our community. Her warmth, kindness, and love for life made everyone around her feel seen and supported. She volunteered countless hours at her children’s school—making lunches, organizing fundraisers—and was always the first to step up for friends and neighbors in need. Anyone who knew Brooke has a story that reflects her generous spirit. She had a charismatic flair for life that was infectious, always unapologetically herself, and she raised her children to be confident, brave, and true to who they are (all while using an absolutely obscene amount of foul language).

We are raising funds to help support Max, Harry, and Annie’s future and to ease the financial burden for Matt as he navigates life without Brooke. Any donation, no matter the size, will help provide stability, security, and continued opportunities for these children as they move forward. Thank you for supporting this family with your generosity, love, and care during this incredibly difficult time. ❤️
