In Loving Memory of Brodie King: A Tribute to a Great Bear

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of one of our own. Today, we lost a great Bear — a beloved member of our community, a friend, a teammate, a brother in spirit. Brodie King has passed away, and his absence leaves a void that words can scarcely fill.

Brodie was more than just a name. He was a light in our halls, a force on our fields, and a soul that touched so many lives with his strength, kindness, and unwavering passion. Whether he was wearing the Bear uniform with pride or simply sharing a laugh with those around him, Brodie carried himself with a presence that made people feel seen, valued, and inspired.

As we grieve this heartbreaking loss, we also turn to honor and remember the life of Brodie King. Tonight, we will gather as a community — united in love, memory, and solidarity — to celebrate the incredible young man we were fortunate to know. We invite everyone to join us for a special tribute at 6:00 p.m. at Bear Stadium.

This gathering is open to all — friends, family, classmates, teammates, teachers, and anyone who felt Brodie’s impact. We encourage you to come, share your memories, and stand with us as we reflect on his life and legacy.

Brodie’s Legacy

Brodie was a Bear in every sense of the word. On the field, he was tenacious and fearless, always giving his all, not just for himself but for the team. Off the field, he showed compassion and heart, known for lifting others up, cracking a joke when someone needed a smile, or offering a quiet moment of support when words weren’t enough.

His impact wasn’t limited to victories or stats — it was in the way he made people feel, the friendships he built, and the strength of character he demonstrated every day. Brodie led by example. He loved fiercely, he fought bravely, and he lived fully.

Tonight’s tribute will include words from coaches, teammates, teachers, and loved ones. There will be time for shared stories, silent reflection, and collective remembrance. We hope to fill the stands not just with people, but with the love and gratitude we all hold for Brodie.

Support and Healing

We recognize that grief affects everyone differently. Counselors and support staff will be available at Bear Stadium this evening and in the days to follow for anyone who needs someone to talk to. We encourage everyone — especially our students — to lean on each other and reach out.

This is a time for unity, for compassion, and for remembering the strength that Brodie gave us — and that we now give each other in his memory.

Final Thoughts

Though Brodie King may no longer walk beside us, his spirit remains woven into the very fabric of our school, our team, and our community. His laugh, his determination, his love — they are all still here. And as we gather tonight under the lights of Bear Stadium, we will honor him not only with our tears, but with our hearts full of the joy he gave us.

We will miss you, Brodie. You were truly one of a kind. You were, and always will be, a Great Bear.

Rest in peace, Brodie King. You will never be forgotten.
