“When you see somebody who is being ostracized or alone or just needs a little hug– a pick me up– you know, reach out to them,” urged Hunter.
Cheryl and Hunter also created a Facebook page entitled In Loving Memory of McKenna Elizabeth Brown, where they have urged community members to share positive thoughts and special memories with McKenna. And since being launched on August 10, hundreds of people have done just that.
“Words from me will never come close to describing the funny, beautiful spark of life that was McKenna,” wrote Dave Clemens.
“She was also an incredibly talented and fiercely competitive goalie. We will deeply miss seeing your big, friendly smile and huge hello around the rink, McKenna.”
“McKenna was larger than life. The whole room or rink or snack bar lit up when she walked in. Always a smile from ear to ear and a big ‘ole hug was not far behind. Just a wonderful young lady. Her loss will be felt forever,” shared David Gentry.
In lieu of flowers, the Brown family has since requested that any community members consider donating to the BU CTE Brain Bank or the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
