With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Jack Brookhart, 17, who lost his life in a tragic car accident earlier this week. Jack was a student at North Raleigh Christian Academy, where he was a standout student-athlete and a cherished member of the school community.
Known for his unwavering sportsmanship, quiet strength, and determination, Jack made a lasting impact on and off the field. As a beloved member of the junior varsity football team and an accomplished baseball player, he was admired by teammates and coaches alike for his work ethic, humility, and team-first attitude.
Beyond athletics, Jack was a young man of integrity and kindness. His sense of humor, loyalty to friends, and devotion to family left a mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He lived his life with purpose and heart—qualities that will never be forgotten.
Jack leaves behind a loving family, countless friends, and a community that is better because he was part of it.
Funeral arrangements and service details will be shared by the family in the coming days. In the meantime, the outpouring of support has been a source of comfort, and those wishing to honor Jack’s memory are encouraged to do so through acts of kindness, just as he so often did in life.
Jack’s legacy of resilience, faith, and compassion will continue to inspire those who knew and loved him.
May he rest in eternal peace.
