Brooks Hayward Green

Billy and Pamela Green announce the passing of their beloved son, Brooks Hayward Green due to a sudden cardiac event. Brooks was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, October 17,1984.

Brooks was a precocious child with high energy and a never ending curiosity for life. He started out burning rubber in his baby walker at 9 months and never looked back.

Brooks grew up in Heber City. He attended J.R. Smith Elementary School. He was the tallest kid there next to his good friend Principal Case. Brooks then moved up the ladder to the Wasatch Middle School. When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, Brooks said "a bowling pro." Brooks then went on to shine at Wasatch High School where he was a champion friend with a great sense of humor which he used to help those who needed a friend. His first car was a 1984 Buick La Saber that his friends called "Blue Velvet." Brooks rigged up a PA system in his car. His voice could be heard calling out: "Attention school age children please keep to the curb" when kids in the neighborhood got off the bus and were scattered everywhere. He also used his speaker to call out greetings to neighbors as he passed by. In his Senior Year he received the "Most Improved G.P.A Award” and graduated in 2003.

Brooks served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Riverside California Mission from February 2OO4-2OO6. He taught the Gospel and loved the people he met in every area he served from ex-cons to his favorite area serving and eating in the Polynesian Branch. Brooks wanted to be a cop since he was 12. So, he found his true calling in life in working to serve others as a police officer. He graduated from P.O.S.T Police academy in fall of 2008. He was the only officer of over 100 who applied for deputy sheriff who did not have prior police or military experience. He got the job and began his work as a Deputy Sheriff on October 1, 2OO8 for Salt Lake County Sheriff's Department later named the Unified Police of Greater Salt Lake. He began working in Kearns, Magna, and Herriman as a patrol officer. He later took a position as C.O.P. (Community Oriented Policing) Detective for White City where he worked closely with the community leaders and residents. Brooks was trained as a hostage negotiator. He currently was working as a Detective with the Domestic Violence Unit in the Investigations Division where he was extremely dedicated and he was working on his Sergeant rank advancement. It was said that Brooks was always cheerful and always happy and always had a big smile on his face. Brooks loved his work and the special officers and people of the UPD law enforcement family he worked with. He has left a large hole in the department and in the hearts of his fellow officers.

Brooks will be missed by his parents, Bill and Pam of Heber City, his sister Whitney Dymock and husband John and his two special nephews Palmer and Riley Dymock of Herriman, his Grandfather J. Paul Riley of Logan and his friend Robby Riddle and many Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and his many friends and associates at UPD.
