Brooklynn was the youngest daughter. Brooklynn had a smile that would light up a room. She loved her dog Mochi. Brooklynn was kind, caring, compassionate and always wanted to help others. After Brooklynn graduated from Choctaw High School in 2018 with her high school diploma and also an Associates Degree in Science, she went on to join the United States Air Force. After graduation and attending her father’s retirement from the United States Air Force, she said, “Dad, I want to make a difference like you,” and decided to join the Air Force… like her father. 19 Jan 2019 she started her Air Force career, despite being cut short she was an accomplished woman for such a young age. She completed basic training as an Honor graduate. From there she went onto Tech School for her job in Aerospace Propulsion. Completing Tech School as a 3 level/F-16 Propulsion Systems Apprentice.

She deployed in support of Operation ALLIES WELCOME, charged with assisting Afghan arrivals with resettlement support services as they begin to rebuild their lives in the United States. Her efforts during this deployment led to her being selected for the Air Force International Affairs Excellence Award. This is an Air Force level award and a major accomplishment. Her selflessness was the center of who she was and her guiding light in life. She was projected to complete her Bachelor’s degree in Fire and Emergency Management in 2023.
