On March 3, 2023, our beautiful daughter, Aleya Nicole Lin Brooks,
went home to Jesus.
Through the crushing blow of a falling tree, she suffered traumatic brain injury which instantly ended her life on this earth.
Though the loss of our little girl has broken our hearts forever, God is moving powerfully through the story of this amazing young lady who was an incredible encourager, a powerful overcomer, and loved everyone with the unconditional love she found in Jesus.
This is just the beginning of the telling of her story and the lasting legacy of love...a story of Grit and Grace...a story of Inhaling Faith and Exhaling Fear.
We love you!
Jason and Darla Brooks
(Aleya's Daddy and Momma)
On March 9, 2023, we celebrated Aleya's life...
Over 700 people packed Long Hollow Church to honor Aleya, love us, and hear about Aleya's best friend...Jesus.
We later learned that over 4,000 people from around the world joined the live stream event that evening...and thousands more have watched since.
Aleya wrote in her journal "I would gladly give my life if only two people gave their life to Jesus."
God took this mustard seed of faith from our little girl and multiplied it beyond what anyone could ever imagine.
And He's still moving today...
On March 5, 2023, we said goodbye to Aleya for the last time...
Over 1,000 people filled the halls, foyers, and auditorium of TriStar Skyline Medical Center to honor Aleya's gift of life through organ donation.
Here is a powerful video of the HONOR WALK, captured by Brian Holloway, to commemorate the experience.
The legacy of a little girl who brought healing after her time on earth had ended.
Her legacy of Love!
