My condolences.
It does seem he lived quite a remarkable life, and as you say, one much too short. Thank you for sharing this information.

Brock did a lot of living in his short 24 years, passing away on January 12, 2021. A terrific athlete, he enjoyed creative writing and poetry and he was passionate about truly engaging with people from different cultures. He traveled and lived in numerous locations, spending time on five continents; two of his favorite trips were to West Africa and to Seoul, Korea. The Tallman/Curtis family started this endowed scholarship; in the hope, a male student with financial needs will use this opportunity to spark their sense of adventure and global understanding.

Do you know whether Brock's remains have been recovered from the water? If so, we'll move the thread to the 'Located' forum. If not, the thread will remain here but will be marked as 'Deceased/Not Found'. TY for updating.

I do not know of his remains were ever recovered. Unfortunately, the Niagara Falls can be very unforgiving. It is usually reported when a body is located, however it is not always followed up with identification to the public.

Thank you for replying. Considering his NamUs profile is still active and there hasn't been an official notification stating his remains have been recovered, we'll mark the thread as 'Deceased/Not Found' until further notice.
