Jimmie Lee Brooks transitioned from an earthly life to eternal life on December 21, 2016 at Calvert Memorial Hospital, Prince Frederick, Maryland. Jimmie was born to Rev. Dr. Rudy C. Brooks and the Late Lou Ella Brooks, December 6, 1948 in Tennille, Georgia.

Jimmie was educated in the Kent County Public School System, the Eastern Shores of Maryland. At a very young age, Jimmie taught himself how to play the harmonica. As he progressed into manhood, Jimmie proficiently began to play the guitar. Singing and playing the guitar became Jimmie’s passion throughout his entire life. Jimmie was a genius in nature. As an adolescent, he converted a soap box into a movable car years before the remote control car was ever heard of. His unique talent was enhanced when he built a go-cart out of scrap materials.

Jimmie was always willing to talk to anyone who was more than willing to chat with him. No one was a stranger to him! Jimmie orchestrated his life with love, laughter and friendship.

For many years, Jimmie was a faithful and dedicated member of St. Matthew Free Gospel Church in Hollywood, Maryland, where he sang in the choir until he was no longer able to attend due to circumstances beyond his control.

To those who truly loved Jimmie, be not dismayed for God will take care of Jimmie. As he soar on eagle wings, farewell thy good and faithful servant.

Jimmie was preceded in death by his mother, Lou Ella Brooks, his sister, Rena Mae Smith and his brother in-law, Francis Eugene Thompson. He is survived by his father, Rev. Dr. Rudy C. Brooks of Lexington Park, MD; his sisters, Mary Helen Brooks and Sarah Louella Brooks of Lexington Park, MD, Ruby Lee Thompson of Waldorf, MD, Pearl Lee Brooks of Great Mills, MD, Osie Mae Shade of Ridge, MD; one brother, Johnnie Lee Brooks (Lillie) of Park Hall, MD and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Family and friends will unite on Friday, December 30, 2016 for visitation at 10 am until time of service at 11 am at Briscoe-Tonic Funeral Home, 38576 Brett Way, Mechanicsville, MD 20659. Interment to follow at Charles Memorial Gardens, Leonardtown, MD 20650.

My sincere condolences to all of the family for your loss. I find comfort by thinking Miss Lou is joyful to be joined by one of her sons......

May God Bless All

Walking thru the dining hall just isn't the same without you Jimmie. The first song you ever sang to me is "Put a little love in your heart", and that is what you truly did for so many people. We truly enjoyed you and your guitar, and the laughter you shared with us all. Sing your heart out for the Lord Jimmie!

Mary & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. May he Rest in Peace

To Johnnie, Lillie, Ossie, and Pearl, I was so sorry to hear of Jimmie passing. You are in my prayers. God bless you. Ronnie Scruggs, Cleveland, Ohio

Jimmie, you were truly a special person. We knew each other for a short time but I will miss your weekly visits requesting money, handing me wads of paper for $50,000,000,000 telling me to buy myself a car. I will miss the endless stories you always had. But most of all, I will miss that belly-giggle, the kind where you couldn't stop yourself from giggling. You will be missed so much at CCNC!

I am praying for you and your family in the lost of your love I met Jimmie in the Calvert Nursing Center he was a nice person and remember that earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal.

Jimmy , you always have a special place in my heart and you will be missed I'll singing in the dining room , and you tell me how to make potato salad . Words cannot express the joy you brought to so many people you made them smile and laugh and you will always be the great wonderful Wizard of Oz I will miss you

To Bro. Johnnie, Dr. Rudy C. and family, Sorry to here about the passing of Jimmie Lee, your brother, and son. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
