Brooke Lyn Schwartz was born on April 10, 2000, in Sioux Falls, SD to Michael and Tami (Tulio) Schwartz. She graduated from Washington High School and was most recently working at Amazon and Atkins Trucking. She was also making plans to attend courses out of Texas to become a dog trainer.
“Individually I am Whole.”
Brooke was a beautiful, compassionate, kind-hearted person. She loved working with animals and absolutely adored her dogs, “Jaax and Indi.” She enjoyed taking them to the dog park and hiking with them. Her babies went everywhere with her.
“Together We are More.”
Brooke loved her family and closest friends fiercely. She loved and cherished spending time with her sisters, shopping, dyeing her hair, and recently piercing their ears.
Brooke had recently written a letter to her mother. She spoke in detail about her Papa Paul. Paul had passed when she was only 6 years old, but she cherished those memories to this day. Brooke still had her “magic” pillow that she used to talk to him. She kept it with her on her bed, and it was with her when she passed.
As a final act of kindness, Brooke donated her organs at the end of her life, so that others could live on.
Grateful for having shared Brooke’s life are her parents, Tami and Monty, and Mike and Amy; her sisters, Taylin, Payton, and Adriene; her grandmothers, Judy, Sharon, and Colleen; several aunts, uncles, and cousins; a host of other relatives and friends; her boyfriend Josh Atkins; and her dogs, Jaax and Indi.
Brooke was preceded in death by her Papa Paul Kerolewicz; Harold Schwartz; and Larry Lambert.
