Earlier this month, Milwaukee lost one of its most tenacious advocates. Alderman Jonathan Brostoff died by suicide at just 41 years old. He leaves behind a wife, four children, and a community struggling to come to terms with this loss.
During his life, Brostoff was a tireless advocate for his community, both as a state representative and later as a member of the Milwaukee Common Council. In the wake of his passing, the outpouring of grief and love has been immense.
Listen to the audio above to hear from some of the people who knew and loved Jonathan.
