Bryce Brooks was just 16 years old when he died while saving three younger children from a rip current at a Florida beach.
A “sweet, selfless hero” is how Alfred Shivy Brooks is remembering his son after his untimely death on April 6. “At that time of being selfless, our son Bryce… while being pulled by currents himself… literally called for help, but not for himself,” Shivy told. "He was calling for help for the little kids he was looking out for.
” Bryce sprang into action after he noticed the children struggling, and jumped in the water with two other beachgoers to save them. The three kids survived, but Bryce got swept away in the current. Family friend Charles Johnson went in after Bryce, but suffered the same fate. Both died after being airlifted to a hospital. “We’re never going to get to see Bryce grow up and be the full man that he was going to be,” said Crystal Brooks, Bryce’s mother.
