My fond memories of Brooke are the times we spent hanging out snowmobiling, boating, jetskiing and riding anything else that had a motor on it or in it.
But my fondest memory of Brooke is and will always be a herorowic memory of him.
Something that everyone should know about Brooke is that he was a real hero at least once in his lifetime.
One time I was at his house having dinner with Brooke, his former girlfriend Jessica Bennett at the time, and another friend of his Robbie and myself.
Suddenly, while eating, I found myself choking with food stuck in my throat so badly that I couldn't breathe or speak. I stood up and looked at Brooke, pointed to my throat, then motioned the hemlic maneuver with my arms.
Brooke immediately jumped up, realizing I was in trouble and started performing the hemlic on me, and after a few tries, he was successful at dislodging the food I was choking on.
Then I was able to catch my breath and breathe again. Thank you I said to Brooke, "You saved my life my friend."
If it wasn't for Brooke's quick actions that day, I may not have survived.
Rest in peace my dear friend Brooke, your friend always David Dishart.
