How B.E.A.R. Ranch began...
B.E.A.R. Ranch was created in loving memory of Brooke — our beautiful girl whose light, spirit, and love for life touched everyone around her.
On April 19, 2026, our family’s world changed forever after Brooke became the victim of a domestic violence tragedy that left her critically injured. True to who she was, Brooke fought with incredible strength and determination, but on April 23, 2026, her journey here came to an end.
Brooke was truly unforgettable. She was free-spirited, fiercely independent, compassionate, and full of life. Her energy could light up any room, and her laughter, music, dancing, and vibrant personality brought joy to so many. She loved all genres of music and could often be found singing and dancing the night away. Most of all, Brooke had a deep love for animals — especially horses and dogs — and found genuine peace and healing in their presence.
The ranch became Brooke’s safe place. Riding horses at Lucky Stables in Neenah every Tuesday brought her comfort, calm, and happiness. No matter what life placed in front of her, being around the horses helped ease her anxieties and allowed her spirit to feel free. It was where she felt most at peace.
B.E.A.R. Ranch was born from that love and healing connection. Our mission is to create a place where others can experience the same comfort, peace, strength, and hope that Brooke found through animals, nature, and human connection. Through Brooke’s memory, we hope to build something that continues to shine her light into the world — a place of healing, compassion, support, and love for anyone who needs it.
Brooke was our dancing queen, our radiant light, and the heart of so many beautiful memories. Her spirit will forever live on through B.E.A.R. Ranch and every life it touches.
