He was very close to his direct family, his extended family, and many friends and supporters from his school, church, and community. He loved them all very much, and they loved him back.

Who was Brooks Forester?
Brooks Holt Forester was born to parents Doug and Megan Forester on March 13th, 2014. Brooks’ nine short years don’t show how full his life was. Instead, it’s the way he lived them with fire, character, and love that shows how full his life was. His love of military history from World War II made the Make-A-Wish Foundation-funded trip to Pearl Harbor with his family a highlight for him.
Brooks was a lifelong Braves fan who loved to watch and play baseball, even though his illness made the latter harder and harder. Along with his drive, Brooks had a magnetic personality that made people want to be around him. It was fun to talk to him one-on-one because he had a curious mind and was naturally curious. His willingness to act and sense of humour made him a lot of fun when a group of people got together. The love Brooks shared was the most important thing in his life.
