Tributes Roll in For Brogen-Lea Storey, Who Was Hit By A Car in Cannock
Tributes were given to a “thoughtful, imaginative, and happy girl” who was hit by a car in Cannock. Brogen-Lea Storey, 15, was hit by a black Renault Clio on the Eastern Way on Tuesday evening (29th November).
The teenager was taken to the hospital, but despite the best efforts of the doctors, she died the next morning.
Friends and family have described the young woman as having “a beautiful smile” and “one of the funniest, kindest, and most loyal girls I’ve ever met”. Thanks to a GoFundMe page, more than £10,000 was raised in less than 13 hours in memory of the girl who was “loved by everyone who knew her”.
Kerry Plant, whose son grew up with Brogen, created the site. He had originally planned to raise £500 to buy a memorial tree with a plaque and a special Christmas present for the Brogen brothers. Kerry said he would use any extra money to pay for the funeral expenses.
She was struck by the generosity of the hundreds of supporters who nonetheless donated generously. As funds continue to flow in, the target has now been raised to £10,500.
Before Kerry created the page, she asked Brogan’s mother for permission. He described Brogan as a sweet, considerate, funny, and happy girl who always had a smile on her face. a girl who would sacrifice anything for you. everyone who knew her loved her.
“He is survived by his two younger brothers and a little sister. The money raised will be used to give them a little extra Christmas present from their adorable big sister this year. For his friends, I want to get a tree and a plaque in memory of Brogen (an idea that came from his friends) and the remaining funds will be given to his family to help with his funeral.”
A follower said: “I remember Brogan was born about three months after my daughter. When I heard this sad news, I felt sick. I send you lots of love and strength.”
Another said: “Thoughts are with the family at this difficult time. My son was in the same class and he left a huge hole in the lives of all Brogen’s classmates.”
A third wrote: “What an innocent life taken too soon! We send our condolences, thoughts, and love to the entire family at this sad time.”
Paul and Brad’s Jolly Fryer team in Heath Way, Cannock also paid tribute to their “funny, happy, beautiful Saturday girl”.
A Facebook post read: “A beautiful soul lasted too soon. Our deepest condolences to his beautiful family. We will miss you very much Brogen.”
The accident is being investigated by Staffordshire Police who have asked any witnesses to come forward. “We are asking for information following the death of a 15-year-old girl following an accident in Cannock,” a spokeswoman for the force said.
