“That he would give up his life in an attempt to save Bryce’s life; it’s everything I expect and I know about that man,” Shivy said.
Months after Bryce died, the family set up the Bryce Brooks Foundation, a charity “dedicated to fostering water safety and drowning prevention. Our mission is to provide free swimming lessons for adults and children and empower teens through scholarships for lifeguard certification.”
The foundation has now awarded its first six scholarships to help with college expenses, with Johnson’s son among the recipients.
Recently, Shivy shared a heart-wrenching message on Instagram: “Bryce’s presence is missed evermore. Bryce has always been by my side to make impossible things, feasible. Bryce was always my hero.”
The post continues, “I just want to talk to this kid. I just want to put my arms around him. I just want my son to come home.”
