I can't attend his services,but I will be remembering the years we played together and were classmates for 12 years at Englewood School. He was always a lot of fun to be with. A really good person .

Randy “Pudge” Brooks, 79, passed away peacefully at his home in Rockford, Tennessee, on August 27, 2025. Born on September 15, 1945, Randy was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend who touched many lives throughout his journey.

Randy’s legacy continues through his surviving family which includes nephews Scott and Tim Brock, great-nieces Emilee Yaggie, Mary Blake Brock, and Makaeya Vincent, and great-nephew Brooks Brock.
A proud graduate of Englewood High School’s Class of 1963, Randy held a special place in local sports history as the last living survivor of the legendary Englewood Rams “Dirty Dozen Plus One” football team, which achieved a memorable 6-4 season. Following his graduation, Randy answered the call to serve his country in the United States Marine Corps, where he served with honor as a military police officer.
