DAVID BROOKS Obituary

DAVID BROOKS Into the arms of God and Grandma Olive, Grandpa Ronald and Nonno Bepi on April 22, 2014 at age 17. He was a grade 11 student at Port Credit Secondary School and a Scout all his life - awarded Scouting's "Jack Cornwell" medal for courage, fortitude and integrity. Since birth, his powerful spirit helped him overcome serious health challenges. He fought lymphoma stoically and with perseverance until the battle was lost after 7 months. With broken hearts, he leaves his parents, Larry and Anna, his sisters, Katerina and Michela, Nonna Catherine Peruzzi and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Profound gratitude is extended to cousin and best friend Clarke, other best friend Ryan, the loyal Scouts and Scout Leaders, friends and neighbours bearing food, and the caring and dedicated cardiology and oncology staff at the Hospital for Sick Children. David's strength and dignity will not be forgotten. Friends may call at the Turner & Porter "Peel Chapel" 2180 Hurontario St., Mississauga (one block north of QEW), on Thursday from 6 - 9 p.m. and Friday from 2 - 4 and 6 - 9 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, April 26, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. in St. Mary Star of the Sea Church (11 Peter St. S., Mississauga). In memory of David, contributions may be made to the David Brooks Memorial Fund at SickKids Hospital.

To those privileged enough to have had David in their lives - my condolences. David was an amazing young man with a mild manner that understated his hopeful and courageous disposition. It was an honour to get to know him and his family. Even when he was less well, he had a rare drive to get on with life when faced with adversity. He will be missed and remembered fondly.

Anna & Larry,
I was deeply saddened to hear of David's passing.
He had a quiet strength that was evident even when he was young. He always brightened our classroom with his smile and taught me about the extent to which children can be truly compassionate and empathetic with each other.
My life was enriched through knowing David and, with you and your family, I mourn his loss.
