Wow, I really don't know what to say except somehow it just doesn't seem fair that such a sweet family has had to suffer so much loss. And now I loose another play Uncle. I admire how he managed to keep his since of humor through out his life long fight. He will be missed by so many. He was more than a friend to me and my family, he was like family. Me and my moms condolences go out to ALL of the Brooks family. I'll miss you Uncle Jive a.k.a 45 :-) "Smile"

To The Brooks Family, I'm deeply saddened by the loss of your son and brother and my adopted Brother "Jai". You are all my adopted family even though I'm no longer living in Richmond, but i constantly think about you. You are in my thoughts today and always. May it give you comfort to know that your loved one is now resting peacefully in the arms of God.
Your Adopted Daughter and Sister,
