Impaired Boating Kills Kids Too.

Brooklyn Was One Of Them.

Meet Brooklyn

Brooklyn Mae Carroll was pure joy, a light who filled every space with laughter, curiosity, and love. She had the biggest heart and an endless capacity for kindness. Brooklyn wanted everyone to feel happy, included, and loved. With her big heart, funny sense of humor, and contagious joy, she made friends everywhere she went. Brooklyn's favorite activities included riding horses and spending time with her family, friends, and her dogs.

At just 10 years old, Brooklyn had already touched countless lives with her compassion, creativity, and her ability to make everyone around her feel seen and valued.

On August 2, 2025, Brooklyn’s life was tragically cut short by a drunk boater. While her time here with us was far too brief, her spirit continues to shine brightly through the memories, smiles, and love she left behind.

This space honors Brooklyn’s life through the foundation created in her memory - Whispers of the Wild, The Brooklyn Mae Carroll Foundation. Celebrating the way she lived, not just how she was lost. Through The Brooklyn Mae Carroll Foundation, we carry her legacy forward with purpose: raising awareness, inspiring change, and working to ensure no other family has to endure the heartbreak of losing a precious child to preventable choices.

Brooklyn's favorite color was blue - a color that now symbolizes hope and awareness in our mission. In her honor, we’re committed to turning pain into purpose - promoting safe boating, sober boating awareness, spreading kindness, honoring her memory, and keeping her beautiful light alive in all we do. Boat Sober for Brooklyn Mae.
