David Brooks Obituary
Some of his favorite things where sharing the Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs he caught, having a cocktail with his friends and family, and finding the humor in just about everything.
David was in the United States Coast Guard. He retired from Dominion Virginia Power, Yorktown, Va., after 34 years of service. He was a past Master of the Masonic Lodge in Yorktown, Va., and served as a Commander in the Vero Beach Power Squadron in Vero Beach, Fla.
David is survived by his loving wife of 25 years, Marlene P. Brooks; his daughters, Lynne Medlin and Jo Brooks both of Newport News, Va.; and his son, Richard Paden of Martinsburg, W.Va.
A celebration of David's life will be held 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 28, 2009, at the Vero Beach Power Squadron, 301 Acacia Road, Vero Beach, Fla.

"To Marlene and family, I send my prayers. Jodi and Kyle Lynne I have thought of you often but did not know where you were. My heart is sad to learn of your dad's passing. I thought of him on his birthday last month.I think of the days we had at the 'Clam Bar" and the Marlbank days. I can hear your dad caling Jodi. Your dad was and always will be with you in your heart, he was a fine man, with a good heart. Call me please, I would love to see the both of you. I will leave my number with the newspaper. Love always, Evelyn Brewington Wright,(Hampton, Va.)

Doug & I are deeply sad to read of Dave's death. We knew and loved him for many years and he will always be remembered as a great friend and teacher at VEPCO and a great fishing and party friend. He was a wonderful father and an all around great person.

Marlene,
I am so sorry of Dave's passing. You and I worked together at Dominion Virginia Power in Hampton and Dave and I bowled at Hidenwood bowling alley many years ago. I remember him being a really nice guy. Take care and you and your family will be in my prayers.
