Daniel and Michelle Brooks and Paker

BROOKS & PARKER Michelle Megan Parker and Daniel Kyle Brooks were tragically taken from family and friends too soon. They passed away on Saturday March 22nd, 2014 which was Michelle's 28th birthday. They were two of the sweetest and most loving people who have touched so many lives in some way or another. They are now together forever up in heaven as our sweet angels. They were planning their marriage for the near future. Michelle was loved by all and she will be most remembered by her smile, her laugh and by her many other characteristics. Michelle loved to spend time with family and friends, especially her niece and nephew. She enjoyed crafts, bowling, the casino and anything to do with hair, makeup or nails. Michelle and Daniel were inseparable and seemed to be attached at the hip...this is the way they will remain forever. Daniel was born on April 1st, 1985 in Thunder Bay. He had attended and graduated from Algonquin Public School, Hammarskjold High School and then went on to Lakehead University, where he earned his Bachelor of Education Degree. When he was 16, Daniel had worked at Robins Donuts and then later started full time as an Educator at Thunder Bay Aboriginal Head Start. He enjoyed listening to music, watching movies, bowling, cooking, fishing, and playing crib or scrabble with his family and friends. Daniel was always a pleasure to be around. His charismatic nature made people feel at ease. He brought joy into the life of so many. He was helpful, courteous and would always leave you with a smile. Dan was the sunshine in his parent's lives; their morning, noon and night.
