Brodie attended The Foundation School in Orange for eleven years; The Foundation School was Brodie's home away from home. Brodie had so many wonderful trips and experiences at Foundation going to N.Y.C., going to the Senior Center, rec nights, making sandwiches for the shelter, and basketball events with Coach Byrd. Brodie was a door holder for his friends and the past few years had a job doing bus duty helping his friends out of their rides to school. We are so thankful and blessed that Brodie had so many wonderful teachers to guide him and us through his journey. We are grateful to Bob Pelton and Lenny Cohen for their patience, kindness, knowledge and culture, and most of all for keeping Brodie and Ryan safe to and from school.

Brodie left his mark on everyone he met. Brodie greeted everyone with his kind and infectious smile. Opening the door at St, Mark Church to greet parishioners coming in for Mass, and wishing everyone a good day at the food pantry or the way he interacted with people; Brodie tried to be nice to all. We will miss Brodie's kind, funny and infectious smile. Brodie was full of life.

Brodie's favorite color was red. We ask you to honor Brodie by wearing something red for his celebration services. Donations can be made to The Foundation School, 719 Derby Milford Road, Orange, CT 06477.
