Teaunce James Brockie "E- Hate". Known to many as TJ, 17, went to be with the Creator and our ancestor's early afternoon on December 14th, 2023. He passed away with his family by his side at Heritage Park Healthcare and Rehabilitation in Roy, Utah.

TJ was born on September 7th, 2006, to Tiffany Brockie and Alan Kulbeck in Havre, Montana. TJ's maternal grandparents are Fern Brockie, and the late Morris "Mike" Brockie of Hays, Montana. TJ's paternal grandparents are Julie Kulbeck and Charles Kulbeck of Harlem, Montana.

TJ was a proud young A'aniiih man and carried the traditional name "E- Hate" meaning "Heavy" after his Papa Mike. TJ was born resilient and had gone through major surgeries when he was just an infant. TJ spent his early years and attended elementary school in Havre, Montana. As a young kid TJ was full of energy and loved to play with his "mens" (action figures)- he especially loved Batman. He also loved to be outside and play with his friends and cousins. From a young age TJ loved animals, he especially loved his puppies and horses. His beloved dog "Colt" had a special place in his heart.  TJ loved being out at his late Papa Mikes ranch in Hays where he would enjoy time with family. He later then moved with his mother to Hays, Montana where he attended middle school and high school at Hays Lodge Pole Schools. He created many friendships and made a positive long-lasting impact on not only his family and peers, but his entire community and beyond.

TJ was outgoing and full of charm and charisma. He could strike up a conversation with just about anyone and would turn that talk into a lifelong friendship. He always met you with a cheesy beautiful smile with dimples and all. His kind eyes would welcome you in the most genuine way, and he would bat his long lashes around. He had an easy-going personality that made you feel comfortable to just be yourself around him. His light-heartedness put you at ease and reminded you to never take life too seriously. When you were with TJ you were sure to share a laugh with him. TJ was a bright light to those around him and constantly uplifted others. He made sure of it to show others that he loved and cared for them. When anyone needed help TJ showed up no questions asked. He was thoughtful, considerate and had a heart of gold. TJ lived his life with a positive attitude, integrity, respect, empathy, bravery, and selflessness. He was proud to be a brother to many and took his role as a brother seriously. He was also a proud uncle and loved his nieces and nephews dearly.

TJ was a busy young man and enjoyed many activities such as basketball, video games, fishing, riding, and working with horses, and of course spending time with friends and family. He was a hard worker and took pride in his work. During the summers he assisted in various community projects. He had a great work ethic and was physically strong. He helped his Dad with his horses, harnessing them, feeding them, and performing other chores around the ranch.TJ loved to cruise around the mountains and ride the four-wheeler when he would stay with his Grandma Julie and Grandpa Charlie.  He would often be found visiting and spending heartfelt time at many places he called home throughout his community and was always welcomed with open arms wherever he went.

At school he was known as "T-Money", "Teyoncé", "T ounce", "Teedles", or just simply Teaunce. Lately he would always be found playing basketball at the 4 courts with his "boys" it was a daily ritual for him to gather his friends and enjoy some games. This daily routine was quality time spent together visiting, teasing, and laughing. He also enjoyed playing video games with his gaming buddies. He enjoyed games such as Apex Legends, NBA 2K, Black Ops 2 Zombies, Fortnite, and many more.

Our hearts are heavy because you have gone away. We will never forget you as "nothing loved is ever forgotten" and you were loved so very much.

We will see you again TJ, until then we will miss you so much, and continue to live by what you stood for. You give us hope and represented all the good humanity has to offer.
