Story
Chris ‘Brooksie’ Brooks spent his life in the water. He was on his Dad’s surfboard before he could walk. We often joked he had salt water in his veins. His joy of life was being on or near the water, with friends and generally making sure everyone was happy.
We are raising funds in his name as a memorial to his huge caring soul after he took his own life. These funds will be going to the Southbourne Surf Life Saving Club, a charity set up in 1986, the year Chris was born. It is situated just on the beach near where he lived in the town he grew up in. He was known by so many in the area and we think this charity helping new generations to love the water and be safe, for themselves and others, would please him.
He never really wanted to grow up, and now he doesnt have to. He always had so much love to give everybody and gave it freely. Sadly he forgot to save some for himself.
Thank you for your support.

1 year agoThank you to everyone who has contributed to the Brooksie Fund for the Southbourne Surf Life Saving Club. We are overwhelmed to have actually reached £3000 in Chris’s memory. In the New Year we will be meeting up with some of the committee of SSLSC to discuss the best way of using this money for the benefit of the youngsters who learn so much from being members. We will keep you updated. Many thanks again Amanda, Mark & Elsa Mum, Dad & Sister
