About Brooke
Brooke lit up a room as soon as she walked in and demanded everyone’s attention. She never knew a stranger and had hundreds of “best friends”. She was like Katherine Heigle in the movie "27 Dresses" being a bridesmaid, maid of honor and even a grooms-maid at close to a dozen weddings in the summer of 2015. Her faith in God was unwavering and her love for her family, friends and student-athletes was unmatched. She had a passion for sports and her job was right in the middle of that passion as an athletic trainer. She lived her life to the fullest and now resides on the streets of gold with our Heavenly Father.
Brooke Ashton Parker Foundation
The Brooke Ashton Parker Foundation is a non-profit organization created to honor the legacy of our full of life friend and family member. We hope to raise awareness for drunk driving and help provide scholarship opportunities for graduating high school seniors looking to pursue a higher education.
