Brooke Probst Obituary
A viewing for the Probst and Walker children will be held today, March 2, in Emmett at the LDS Stake Center, 980 W. Central Ave. from 3 until 8 p.m. The families will greet friends from 5-8 p.m. The Probst funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 3, at the Emmett LDS Stake Center. Burial will follow at the Sweet Cemetery. Bishop Blake Probst will be conducting. Services are under the direction of the Potter Funeral Chapel, Emmett.
Brooke Probst was born June 11, 1991, in Heber City, Utah, to Blake and Sheri (Kirkham) Probst. She was a loving sister and friend to all who came in contact with her. Her smile could light up the darkest day. Her kindness touched every heart. She was very competitive with herself. She would think of something that she wanted to accomplish and push herself to be the best. She clogged with the Gem Cloggers for 8 years and reached the top level of Diamond where she was a National Champion. She left clogging for track and loved to pole vault. She went to State as a freshman and she planned to take State this year. She lettered in academics as well as track. She achieved her Young Women in Excellence Award when she was 14. She loved her Heavenly Father and patterned her life after her Savior Jesus Christ.
Brant Francis Probst was born on May 6, 1994, in Boise. He was all boy and the best brother that three girls could want. He was very mischievous and loved a good joke. Brant loved his family and was his Dad's right hand man. He was a great friend to all who knew him. He was always good for a hug and a smile. He loved scouting and achieved the rank of Star and was working very hard on his Duty to God Award. He played football and basketball for Emmett Jr. High School.
Brooke and Brant were happiest when they were with their family hunting, riding horses, motorcycles, camping or traveling. They loved to have people over to play games, watch movies and eat ice cream. Their family recently finished building a new home as a family project. The kids were involved with every aspect of building their home from running the backhoe to staining the woodwork. They were excitedly filling their new home with all of their friends.
They are survived by their loving parents, Blake and Sheri Probst, and their best friends and sisters Kylee and Sage Probst; grandparents Kay and NaDene Probst, of Midway, Utah and Robert and Glenda Kirkham of Lehi, Utah; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, and a community of loved ones who will miss them desperately.
To Brooke and Brant from Mom, Dad, Kylee and Sage: We love you Mostest.
A memorial fund has be established for the Probst family at Home Federal Savings Bank in Emmett. Memorial donations may be made to this account.

Hapy 16th Birthday today Brooke!
April 30, 2007
Brooke and Brandt-
I heard that Brandt's birthday is coming up this week! I know that this will be a hard day for your family! Please be with them and let them know that you and Brooke love them! I see Kylee each day and i am amazed at her strength and her testimony of eternal families! She is a great example to me! Be with those who may be in need of comfort this week and always! Thank you for being a great example to those whom you knew. I know both of you touched many lives! :)
April 7, 2007
Wow-you two are incredible! The more i hear about you the more i feel like i know you and look up to you. You are amazing and i know that your spirits were heaven sent! I know that whomever's life you walked into, they were made better because you were there! It's like the song from the musical "Wicked" states- "Because I knew, I have been changed for good!" That's what the two of you did to those around you! Please watch over your family! I know that they miss you tremendously but they know they will see you again! What a blessing it is to have the gospel in our lives and to know that when our loved ones pass...it's not the end. We will see each other again! Death only ends a life, not a relationship! Families are Forever! I love the two of you with all my heart even though i was not priviledged to meet you in this lifetime! Be angels for those who love and care for you! Your family is in my prayers!

Sheri & Blake, Melissa & I (Shaun Kirkham) are very sorry that we could not attend the funeral or viewing. Please know that our prayers and thoughts were with you and your family during this difficult time. Our hearts went out to you and your family on that day. We love you and look forward to seeing your family in the not so distant future at family events.
Sheri, Angela (my sister) called me with tears and said that she felt that we (our whole family) should try and attend the viewing and funeral and add our support not just because we are family but also because Angela told me that she remembered that you were one of just a few cousins that was able to come see Cody in the Hospital at Primary Childrens when he was hit by a car when he was 4. She was very touched by that memory and the support and love that you showed our family during that time. I know that your kids are safe with their Hevenly Father & our Saviour close by. The feelings and thoughts that I have recieved after hearing so much and reading so much about their lives and passing have lead me to believe in my heart that Hevenly Father does in deed have a higher calling and mission for them in the Spirit World. I know this is true. We love you all, and again our hearts, thoughts, & prayers are with your family daily.
Love,
The Kirkham's
(Shaun, Melissa, Jacob 3, & Kylie-on the way).

I would like to send my sympathy to the Probst family. I was not able to make it up to the funeral. But I have read the entry in the Church News, and heard on the news about this story. I am a cousin to Sherry. This story, although tragic, is also a faith building, and a reminder to the kind of people we should all try to become. It is so wonderful that this has helped many people in their own community, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is helping many other people who have watched and read about this story to come into the fold of Christ. What a testimony to us all that when we live good lives, and set great examples to our peers that people are watching our every move! To Sherry and Blake, way to go for raising such wonderful children, and thank you for your examples. Lots of Love, Melinda Sorensen (Norm Kirkham's daughter)

Blake,Sheri and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your sad loss of two wonderful children.
I have to tell you I was walking around walmart A while ago and ran into your dad (Robert).
I asked him about you and your family. and he could not say enough about all of you.
He told me everything about your children and the accomplishments they have made or are working on in life.
We talked of your new home and how beautiful it is, how Blake,him and your son would hunt right in the back yard.
He even gave me step by step directions to where you lived if ever I was in idaho.
We talked of your girls and he said your girls are just like you when you was little.
Then it went to when we played barbies at your house and Grandma Johnsons.
A good half hour to fourty five min passed and I have to say I enjoyed it. I got a chance to know them kids and how special they are to your family.
Just Know you are all loved,and that I am so sorry to hear of such a sad loss to your wonderful family.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at such a difficult time.

My sister lives in Eagle and told me about this horrific accident. Words cannot express the feelings on the loss you have expierenced and I cannot fatham the pain your family and friends are going through right now.
I hope that, although your hurt will never go away, that time, support from family and friends, and prayer will at least help you through the tougher times that lay ahead.
I read the obituaries about your children, and you seem to have a wonderful family and now more than ever you need to lean on each other when you need too. Life will never be the same for your family, so take care of each other. Although you probably will question why God chose your children and to put your family through this, stay strong in your faith.
You have alot of support from family and friends, and from people around the country that don't even know you that want to express their sorrow. I am just one of them.

Blake and Sheri, You do not know me, but I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.
One year ago, I lost my 18 year old son, Dustin Duman, on February 26th, 2006. The only thing that has gotten me through the past 12 months is knowing that my son is in a happy place, he's o.k., he's with friends and family and he loves his mom and dad, family and friends very much. Through the atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ, I have been comforted. Like you, we were not left alone. The Lord sent many to love and comfort us. My son went to sleep one night and did not wake up. A strong, healthy young man, and still growing. I know our Father In Heaven has a very special plan for each one of us. He loves us so very much. Please take some comfort in knowing that your children are in a happy place and that you will be together again as an eternal family. My heart goes out to you and I am here if you need someone to talk to in the months ahead.

Your beloved children are once again with him and wait until that time when you can all be together again. Much love to your family,
Sincerely,

Probst Family, We send our most sincere sympathy. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers. As you may remember we have been through similar events, that won't make your challenge any more bearable, but know that you are not alone, as we are not alone. When we walked out of the hospital the morning Cody died in a car accident, the sun was coming up. How out of place it seemed, just like any other day the sun was coming up. This was not any other day. A short 6 months later, close friends of ours Shawn and Sage Martie were killed by a drunk driver in Caldwell. I got the call early in the morning. As I was heading back home, I noticed that the sun was coming up....I was angry, again this was not a normal morning. I knew people were getting up and going to school, work, all the regular things but again this was no regular morning. I had a warm feeling come over me, I soon realized it was a loving Heavenly Father telling me that things really are OK, that it is a normal morning and that he is in control and will call each one of us home on his schedule, not ours. It is his will, not ours. He is there to comfort us, to help us through these tough times. The most difficult part, is staying behind and picking up the pieces. Keeping your sanity when losing it would be the easy road. Hang in there. Come together. Be Grateful.. with much love and concern.

Sometimes it is easy to say, "What if" or "why". It is through our strong faith and knowledge of our Heavenly Father's plan which we will realize their journey here on earth was complete. They are now moving on to greater things than we could ever imagine. They were perfect in every way. You are richly chosen and rewarded for being their parents on this earth.
May his spirit and love dwell with you. Love, Raneva Lemon

We offer your family our deepest sympathies at this most tragic time. Although we have never met we do share a connection of the love for our children and the eternal gratitude we have in knowing our Lord's Plan of Salvation. The one thing we continually think about is what righteous and valiant servants they must be to have been called home so quickly. In the loss of our loved one we were told, mourning is the ultimate act of pure love. We pray for peace and comfort to be with you and your family at this time and you are in our prayers.

Dear Probst Family:
I've never met you or your children, although I'm familiar with and love your beautiful corner of the world.
I am SO sorry that you've temporarily parted ways with your children. I can't even imagine - with children of my own - how you long to hold them in your arms, just one more time.
Based on the information you included in their obituary story, I have total, absolute faith that they have a place reserved for them in a better place. And that you will, indeed, see and embrace them again.
"Teach me all that I must do, to live with Him someday." Well done, parents.
May you feel the warmth and comfort of our Savior's love in this time of sorrow.

Please know that you have been and will continue to be in our every thought and prayer. We send our love and deepest sympathies to you and your two sweet daughters. Our Father in Heaven will wrap you in His arms and give you the peace and comfort needed at this extremely difficult time. As Elder Maxwell said, "Death is a mere comma, not an explanation point!" And for that we are so grateful. We pray for Heavenly Father's choicest blessings to be with all of you and to ease your sorrows at this time.
Much Love,

My Dear Friends Blake, Sheri, Kylee and Sage. Expressions from the heart are many; your children taught me through their actions and their faith more than I can express. The Father has a glorious plan for all; through the heart ache and sorrows that we feel now He strengthen us. God is with all of you and most importantly Brooke and Brant are with our Heavenly Father.
Ronda Krasowski
March 2, 2007
Though your arms must feel so empty, your hearts are surely full. It seems to us Brooke and Brandt were called home to their Father too soon, but in their young lives they were blessed to live in a home with a warm and loving family, nestled in a small community that loved them. They knew the joy of forming deep friendships, and the fulfillment of personal achievement. They were spared much of the grief life can hold on a longer journey. As a part of the Gem Cloggers, on behalf of myself and Holly, and our extended family who watched Brooke shine from the stage over the years, we send our sympathy. Please know you are being remembered in our prayers.

To the Probst family-
I am a room mate with Kylee and have grown to love her since the day that we met. I couldn't believe the news when i heard about Brooke and Brandt. My heart broke at the news and even though I was never able to meet them in person, I feel connected to them through Kylee. She was always talking about them and I know that she loves them so much.

Probst Family,
I am so sorry about your loss. I know how much Brooke and Brandt were loved. My daughter Shauna talked about them all the time and how much Brooke looks like Jordyn and acts like Jaci. I love the Kirkham family and am so grateful for Chase as a son in law. I appreciate your great example and love for him and his family. Our prayers and love are with you and I know Brooke and Brandt will be trully missed and never forgotten.

Your family has blessed and influenced the lives of people you do not even know. As friends of the Valencias we have always looked up to your family because of the way they do. As adult converts we desire to raise our children in righteousness and we look to families such as yours for inspiration and example. What blessings these two beloved young people were to you and to all those they influenced. How wonderful the knowledge that you will all be together again someday! We are so sorry for your loss, but we know you will endure all things and feel joy in doing so, even unto the end. Our every prayer is for comfort and strength to be with your family at this time and always.

My heart absolutely breaks for you and your loss. I lived in Sweet my growing up years, and traveled that road to Emmett more times than one can count, on the school bus and by vehicle. My prayers, my thoughts, are with you all..."to live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die" (Thomas Cambell).

To the family of Brooke & Brant Probst:
You have been in my thoughts and prayers since I heard about this. My daughter Kaylee is Kylee's roomate in Utah. We know the pain you are now feeling as we lost our 18 year old son (Kaylee's twin) in Nov. 2004 in a car accident. How it hurts when it is sudden and unexpected.
What comforts us as it will you, is that they are in a loving, perfect place and learning and progressing and establishing so much. They all achieved so much in the short time we had them in our lives and I am sure they will continue to do the same. A stake president has said: "We as parents made agreements with Heavenly Father prior to coming to earth. We agreed to only have these children for but a short time. We were willing and eager to do so. And our children, like us, agreed to come to earth but only for a short time. They were also eager and willing to do so." These words have comforted me as I hope they do you as I believe those agreements were made.
Please know our hearts are with you as you begin this healing process called "time". Heavenly Father will be there to give you strength in your deepest, darkest moments (which you will certainly have) as will the prayers of others. May you feel the peace our Heavenly Father promises us.
Much love,
Rachael

AS I child I knew if I were to ever go to Heaven a tad earlier than I thought, I could be my Mom, and Dad's Guardian Angel. Your Babies are still so very close, and I just know they are watching over you until you meet again. Your family, and your children have my prayers.

Your children were beautiful and loved by so many. What a tribute and blessing it will be for so many to pay respects to them, for all that they were to their family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss and I know that day will come when you all will be together. Until then we pray for comfort and peace upon your family and home.
