Stafford Teen Brodan Dubickas Dies After Tree Falls on Him

On Saturday, May 2, 15-year-old Brodan Dubickas died after a tree fell on him at Holmcroft Park in Stafford. Emergency services arrived at 6:30 p.m. but pronounced him dead approximately an hour later.
Staffordshire Police cordoned off Holmcroft Park throughout the weekend to investigate the incident. A police blue tent remained positioned inside the cordon yesterday as officials worked at the site where Dubickas was struck.
Sir Graham Balfour School headteacher Kelly Brockhurst described the Year 10 student as "kind-hearted, respectful and full of warmth." His parents and three siblings released a statement Monday expressing gratitude for community support.
A GoFundMe fundraiser established to support the family has raised more than £20,000 in memory of Dubickas. Organizer Kathryn Lockley said the death had "deeply saddened the whole community," with donations intended for funeral costs.
Tributes have poured in from the avid pool player's friends and teammates, who noted he competed four nights a week. A Macclesfield FC U13s tournament held a minute's silence on Sunday in his memory.
