Brooklyn Kaye Holladay
April 27, 2011 - November 12, 2015
Our Dear Brooklyn Kaye Holladay, born April 27, 2011 to Kenneth and Amber Holladay. Brooklyn fought for five days before succumbing to injuries. Always the giver, Brooklyn donated her organs so other children may live and their families won't have to suffer the pain and anguish Brooklyn's family is enduring now.
"B", as she was affectionally called by many, was curious by nature and always wanted to help. She loved to paint nails, do makeup, sing, swim and find rolly pollies. She loved school and will be greatly missed at Studio 56 by friends and teachers. She was especially protective of her little brother Gage and would not allow anyone to get close to him without her approval. Brooklyn was and always will be the light of our lives with her blond bouncy curls, infectious giggles, and piercing blue eyes. "B" may be gone from our lives, but will live forever in our hearts as we continue to keep her spirit alive. We do not say goodbye – we say we will see you again.
Brooklyn is survived by so many who love her. Parents Kenneth and Amber; brother Gage; grandparents Clay and Natalie Dalton, Scott and Patty Holladay, and Shaun and Brenda Willis; uncles Scotty and Trey Landgrebe; aunt Kallie (Steven) Paganelli; cousins Liam and Stephan Paganelli; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, great-grandparents, friends and her extended Boro family who all treated her as their own. We Love you B!!!
Family would like to extend a special thanks to the two bystanders that administered CPR, first responders, IMC Trauma unit, and a special gratitude to all the doctors and staff at Primary Children's hospital. Nurses Heather, Greg, Cindi and Gretchen you go above and beyond and make a difficult time bearable. The family would also like to thank all the close friends, especially Chang who showed their support during this very difficult and emotional time. We couldn't have done it without all of you! "B" loved blue, please join us by wearing an item of her favorite color during her Celebration of Life and Services.
A celebration of Brooklyn's life will be held on Wednesday, November 18, 2015 from 6 to 8 PM at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, SLC. Complimentary valet parking will be provided on the north side of the building.
In Loving Memory
My daughter Paityn was in Brooklyn's class. I often heard stories of Little Brookie, as my daughter likes to call her. The girls absolutely adored her. Such a sweet girl with a beautiful smile. She will be greatly missed. Hugs, loves and prayers to your family.

Although I didn't know Brooklyn or Gage. I can't tell you how sorry I am for the Holladay family loss! My oldest son Evan and co partner of Boro often talked so proudly of Kenny and Amber's children. My son shared his stories to me thru the years. Evan so much loved their two children. And this is a tremendous loss to all who knew the Holladay family. My thoughts and prayers are with the family!!! 😇

Our hearts are saddened as heaven received a beautiful ballerina. Brooklyn has touched the lives of many and will not only be missed, but thought of often. She was such a wonderful friend to her classmates and an absolute dream student. Her smile could light up an entire room and her big heart good brighten your day. She will forever be remembered by her Studio Family. Lots of Love.

Natalie I am so sorry I cannot even imagine the pain you are going through. I was given this thought on a card when my daughter passed away and it helped me, I hope it will help you also. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. My prayers will be with your family Patrica Ralls
