Michael R. Brooks Jr.

In 1997, we met at Gainesville Job Corps. We immediately got attached to each other and everyone thought we were sister and brother so that's what we decided. My heart goes out to our family and friend. You have your wings now you can watch and protect us.....I LOVE YOU BROTHER

Michael, you can never be replaced. I am definately going to miss your since of humor, the bragging of how well you can barbeque, and most of all, your smile. I still can't believe you're gone. We love you!

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

To the Brooks Family, My prayers go out to you and your family. May the peace of God be with you during this difficult time. But remember God will put no more on you than you can bear.

I cannot fathom the death of your grief nor the pain or the burden you bare but i no someone who does. Trust in him. When you dont understand the reason why. Trust in him. When you cannot bare the load from burdens deep within. Trust in him. He mends the broken heart and heals your grieving soul. Trust in him. He is always by your side.......

To the Brooks Family. Michael will truly be missed here at Sanctuary Walk. He was fun, outgoing and energetic. He was our pool guy, security and mentor to the young men. You will truly be missed. May GOD bless you through these hard times. "MIKE LET YOUR LIGHT CONTINUE TO SHINE"

To: Michael Sr, Ms. Victoria, Javon, Johnnie, Chris, Zaedron, Brandon and most of all DeeDee. We have lost a son, brother, father and friend. My people, my family, you are all in my prayers and thoughts. Let's continue to come together often so we can all get through this trying time. Love You all

Losing a Loved One

Although your heart is hurting,
and you feel you can't go on
Know in that very moment
Your loved one wasn't alone.

For God was there beside them
Holding onto their hand
As the time drew nearer
For them to leave this land

He held them close and whispered
"My child your time is now"
"But how will my loved ones go on?"
He whispered "I will show them how"

I will give them strength and...

My condolence to the family, I am sorry to hear about your loss. I do pray for God's strength to be with you
