Brooke Taylor Coty

As all who were fortunate enough to meet you grapple to make sense of such your tragic loss, I hope we can draw from your infectious joy and hug each other more. I'm grateful my time on this earth intersected with yours and you shared so freely of yourself with my daughter.

Brooke, I love you so much. I am glad we got to hang out in December and I was really looking forward to getting our nails done this month. Thank you for the memories, bouldering with me, giving me a side of curry sauce and red onions on my toasties. You are so beautiful.

Sweet Brooke! I´m so grateful I got to know you, even if it´s been way too long since we talked.

I have so many little memories that have just stuck with me over the years. Watching Survivor, sleepovers, little trips she´d come along on. And the random things we´d laugh about, like her niece grabbing her arm and going "a Lady hair?" Or "oh haaaaiils yeah gramma got me tootsie rolls!" We just quoted these things constantly, haha. I called her Brooklebee. I honestly have no idea where that came from, but it just fit!

She was so funny and sweet and just one of those people who made everything more fun. Love you, Brooke! Until we meet again.

Sending so much love to Jeri and David and her family and loved ones.

Jeri and David, I can´t begin to express all the feelings about your sweet girl´s passing. Gone too soon, for sure! I hope that memories of her bright smile and her love for music brings comfort in the quiet moments ahead. I know your love and devotion for her was deep. She feels that now more than ever. Hugs to you!

Brooke, I have not seen you in many years and was not the closest to you even when we knew each other. I was so
Sad to hear of your passing!
The times we hung out you were extremely kind and thoughtful, a very good person of a huge heart - always trying to be super inclusive of everyone and having a good time! Your family is in my prayers! Until you all meet again!

My heart hurts. Brooke, we shared so many laughs, got into a bit of trouble together, and bonded over great music while figuring our lost young selves out. Those moments stayed with me and helped shape who I am. I remember being so excited when I´d get to walk home with you and Miqs after school. I loved all of the time I got to spend with you.

Life took us in different directions, and I´m sorry we lost touch. You were so loved. So creative, expressive, and independent. I´m so sorry and sad you´re gone.

Aw Brooke, my heart is shattered. My favorite teenage/early 20´s memories are with you Thank you for being such an incredible friend. We had so much fun. I still remember thinking you were the absolute coolest when you first moved to Salt Lake and had your own little studio/were working at Nordstrom Rack. Every time I walk by your parents old places PG I have the best memories flood back. Love you so much!

Sweet Brooke,
So many sweet memories with you. Some of my favorites include our backyard camp outs, and Mario Kart or James Bond 007 tournaments on the Nintendo 64. Our walks to the local movie theatre wearing our Tahitian wraps, our matching Meg Ryan haircuts, late night Raman noodles, and so much more! I´m so grateful for you. You´ve shaped me into who I am today in so many ways. Your good sense of humor, love of nature, and of everyone around you. You will be so so missed. Praying for you, David & Jeri, and family during this difficult time. Until we meet again.

Our dear friends Jeri, David, and family. We are beyond heartbroken to hear of the passing of dear Brooke. We have so many cherished memories of her spending time with our girls, and spending countless hours playing Settlers and tying baby quilts. Praying for you all during this difficult time. We love you, Kurt & Kelly Spencer
