James Lester "Jim" Brooks

Dear Dad,
I miss you already! You were my one constant in life, always there when I needed advice, a pep talk, or a humorous perspective on life. I feel so blessed to have had such an exemplary & loving father as they are few & far between.
As more time passes I will shed fewer tears & be able to share more life stories without choking up, remembering the many good times we shared on this walk through life. But I have now joined the other "orphans" in this world whose parents...

My heart & prayers go out to the Brooks' family. Mr. Brooks was my DECA teacher in 1967, at Cascade High in Everett, WA. He was my favorite teacher in high school. His positive influences to his students, followed them into their adult years. Our class was honored, when Jim attended our 45th reunion with his lovely wife & daughter. He will be greatly missed.

Mr. Brooks, Jim, was "the" most kind and self-effacing gentlemen I've ever been blessed to know. I enjoyed every time I had the pleasure of talking to him, fishing with him, and knowing his family members. Jim, Allemand left, and do-si-do, forever. Lance W. Christiansen, DO

My dear Uncle...It was a joy to hear your voice the week before you went to be with your beloved wife, Aunt Virginia. As typical Uncle Jim style, you didn't want to talk about yourself but to know what was going on in my life's. I love you and have learned so much from you. You will always be in my heart. Give my mom a hug and kiss from me.

It was a privilege and an honor to have known you and Ginny. You live on in our hearts. You raised a beautiful family, rest now kind and gentle soul, for your work here is done.
