"We were at an apartment pool, swimming with friends and my son had his puddle jumper on, and he was out swimming with his siblings and friends, and he got cold and wanted to come out," said Christi Brown, Judah’s mother. "I could put the towel around him with the puddle jumper, so I took it off of him, and put his towel around him and sat him next to me.""When he was sitting next to me, I was checking on my other children if they were ok.

I had not seen him leave me. We panicked and looked around the pool. We found him at the shallow end of the pool at the steps. He was face down in the water," she said. "Judah had been in swimming lessons, but it was mommy and me lessons. Those teach more about getting used to the water.

Judah’s memory stays alive through her mission created by Judah’s Pre K teacher, Annette Courtney, called The Judah Brown Project- a nonprofit offers training for survival swim among many other things. "We are able to talk about Judah all the time. She shares tons of stories, and I will often share stories from when he was in my classroom, and how I remember him too. It is such a blessing to continue to talk about him and his life," said Courtney.
