Brooksy m8, i have known you for 12 years and grew up with ya from primary to high school. you always had a smile on your face and always made me laugh from something you done or joke u told me. nothing is going to be the same without you. us lads had so many great times that will stay in my mind forever. so many funny times like watching the world cup together, cinema nights, curry nights, playing about in Thorpe and all the partying. whenever we do something i cant express how different it will be without u. playing footie at school will not be the same without Your Defoe like finishing, Carrick corners and Leadly King defending. i am going to miss u so much mate and words cant describe how i feel for u at this very sad time. will always remember you as a loyal, honest, funny, crazy and caring friend

Love from Brownie (Sam B)


brendan u were such a genuine and funny guy i honestly cant believe you are gone and i kno for certain you will be missed by every1 that knew you. And ill guess ill see you soon, remember tyo keep smiling down on us. Love tom ( Chopper) xxx

Brendan,

A Beautiful person from the inside out, with a heart of gold and a smile that brightened up everyone’s day and made the girls hearts melt. You will be truly missed but never forgotten, I promise you this now.

Deepest sympathy goes out to his family and closest friends, forever in our hearts

Love Dominique xxx


loved u soo much my baby boy we all did and theres no way anyone will ever take your place in my heart just listenin 2 all of the songs and stuff makes me want u bak soo much!!! I love you fi x x


My son Harrison and I were horrified to hear the news about Brendan,Harry and Brendan were freinds since starting School and untill we moved to Devon last year we knew him and his familey, as a father of a sixteen yeard old boy I cant begin to imagine how his Mother and Father are both feeling at this time. To lose a child to an accident is bad enough but to lose Brendan in this thoughtless way is beyond my belief.

I used to run one of the teams at Sprowston lads and Brendan was always there and always eager and bright. In my mind he will alway be the happy active young boy that I knew. Please pass my thought onto both his mother and father, Harry and I may be hundreds of miles away but as someone who knew him and as a father i greive with them both

St Williams school days, on the beach at Mundesley, the Dinosaur park and summer parties, just a few of the times with you we will always remember.

Our hearts go out to Sharon, Adrian and their family. With our deepest sympathy and love always.

Nick, Jane, Daniella, Keira and Oliver Gopsill (Australia)


I know that I didn't know you for long but your tragic loss has affected me in a way that I have known you longer I will miss you like everyone will from Adrian (work collegue, Somerfields, Plumstead Road).


I never had the pleasure to have known Brendan extremely well. The reaction from all his close mates has been tremendous and it really does show what a special kind of lad he was. My personal experience from talking to him was extremely postive, he was so friendly and you could always have a laugh with him The impact he had on people was fantastic and you can see how much he meant to everyone. I send my condolenses to his family.

Phil Webb


I have known brendan from when we was both only 4 years old went through primary school and up 2 high school together! He's a fantastic guy who i will always love very much and will be in my heart 4eva! I loved his electric blue eyes and dat big beautiful smile which always made me happy inside and smile bk at him! Prom was amazing and it was lovely 2 be with him to enjoy the whole experience together! I'm never goin to 4get you love u and miss u always <3<3 xxx Chloe Harlow xxx <3<

Yet another young life cut so tragically short, we never had the pleasure of meeting you. God bless your family and your many many friends. May you rest in peace Brendan.

Melanie & Robert Andrews


Brendan, We were only just starting to get to know each other and you were so lovely. Spoke to you hours before it, and when I heard the news I just didn't want to believe it. Thinking of you and the family. R.I.P babe love always betty xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Rest in Peace Brendan, didn't need to know you to tell that you were a nice genuine person. You'll remain in everyone's hearts, Annie xxx



I can't believe this tragic loss. I remember you really well from primary school and even saw you a few times last year (you always said hello) when you came to pick up your sister. I'm touched by all the tributes and love shown by your friends, proving what a special lad you were. My deepest sympathy goes out to your family and friends. Victoria Smith (teacher)


I have just read the news about Brendan and must pass on my deepest sympathy to Sharon, Adrian and family. We lost touch with you all when we moved in the earlier years of Brendan's life at St Williams school, but Frazer and I still remember Brendan and his family. Frazer is the same age as Brendan and I just connot begin to imagine the grief Sharon and her family must be going through. Heartfelt sympathy to you all, God Bless Brendan.
Love Maxine, Richard, Frazer and Bronwynn Mace xx


Dear Sharon and Adrian,

We are very sorry for your loss. our son Luke, 17 years old, is now a junior soldier training to join the British Army. You try to protect your kids from harm and we think about his future often, especially with what is now going on the world. Your tragedy proves that we can't wrap them up in cotton wool and that they can be taken from us so suddenly whatever they are doing and wherever they are in the world.

We can't begin to imagine how you feel.

from mark, tracy, luke and leonie christie.


Although I cannot claim to know Brendan in recent years, I do remember a lively toddler full of smiles and energy. A tragic waste of a young mans bright future. My heart aches with sorrow and pain with Brendans family and friends.

Paul M Kerton.


Dear Brendan. I didn't know you, but I knew your Grandmother Carole and your Great-Grandmother Dot when we all worked in All Saints Green. I would like to send my love to them and to all your family. God bless you Brendan.

Love Gill [Nash]


loved u soo much my baby boy we all did and theres no way anyone will ever take your place in my heart just listenin 2 all of the songs and stuff makes me want u bak soo much!!! I love you fi x x


So sorry. Deepest sympathy to all the family.

Ricky from the allotment.


We send our deepest sympathy to the whole family and friends.

I never knew Brendan but my son did from football matches they played against each other. It is a great loss that someone so young with so much love for life is taken away.

Sarah H and Family



My second cousin Brendan, sadly and tragically taken from us.
You live on in so many memories.
Always in our hearts. Forever in our thoughts.

Brendan.

You were a great friend. I cherrish all the memories of you. All the times you got hot-headed and the time you punched me in the nose!

All through Primary School and High school we were friends, and you'll never be forgotton by any of us.

My last memory of you was at the prom and Lucy,(my girlfriend), wasn't feeling too well and had to go outside. You asked me how she was. You honestly cared. It's then I realised what a great friend you really were.

My prayers are with all your family and friends.

You were great!!!!

Goodbye.

I love you mate!!!!

From Joe


Brenden brooks was such a great mate he was allways there when you needed him! he's a loving football mad teenager! theres a empty space in my heart. loads going for him! jess davidson xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Brendan,

I have known you since year 3 and in those precious 8 years that I have known you, I can honestly say that a day has never passed without a beautiful smile on your face. You were such a nice guy who brightened up each day with your infectious laugh and now everyone is going to miss how great you made them feel. It's so unfair that you were tragically taken. You didn't deserve to have your life taken away from you so young. But the treasured memories of you will live on forever and will never be forgotton. I will miss you Brendan, we all will but you will always be in our hearts. Deepest Sympathy goes out to all his family and his friends. Rest in peace Brendan,

Love Danielle xxx



Brendan, We became so close and I still can't believe you're gone, I miss you so much babes. You were an amazing guy who always knew how to make everyone smile, there was never a dull moment when you were around. We had some amazing times together and I will cherish those memories forever. Gone but never forgotten, as you will always remain in all of our hearts. I will always be your shorty! Love you always and forever Nicole
