Boy Sees 4 Kids Dying & Sacrifices His Life to Save Them, Making His Grieving Parents Proud

Brave Teen Sacrifices Life to Save Drowning Kids, Inspires Foundation

In a tragic yet heroic incident, 16-year-old Bryce Brooks of Atlanta lost his life while attempting to save four struggling children at a Pensacola beach during spring break. Witnessing the kids in distress, Bryce, along with friends, plunged into the water. His father, Shivy Brooks, revealed Bryce’s selflessness, emphasizing he called for help not for himself but for the endangered kids.

Despite yellow flags indicating moderate currents and the absence of lifeguards, Bryce and his friends intervened. Unfortunately, currents overpowered them, leading to Bryce and a family friend, Charles Johnson II, being pulled underwater. Bryce’s grieving parents, while devastated, take pride in their son’s heroic sacrifice.

“He literally saved the lives of four kids at the expense of his own,” acknowledged Bryce’s dad. The family, joined by a supportive online community, has exceeded their GoFundMe goal, using the funds to establish the Bryce Brooks Foundation. This non-profit aims to offer swimming lessons, CPR training, and other life-saving courses to children, preventing similar tragedies.
