Steven Robert Brooks

Dearest Linda and Family:

My deepest condolences to you and your family. Pastor Steve made a huge impact on my life after the death of my Mama Kerry L. Zagata. I know my Mama loved you all incredibly, and I know her life was changed by Steve as well. He and your family have always, and will forever hold such a huge place in my heart. If it weren't for Pastor Steve, I may never have found my way back to the Heavenly Father, and known of his unconditional love. God be with you and...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dearest Linda and family,

His mercies are new every morning. May you know that in your mind and feel the Holy Spirits peace that passes all understanding in this time of grief.
Pastor Steve had an impact on my life as well as yourself Linda. I will always remember his song that said "nothing can separate us from the love of God, He died for me the sinners been set free"
That song resonates in my life more than you will ever know.

I also remember the time you cried as you...

Linda, this notice was e-mailed to me by a family member who lives in C. Springs. What a flood of memories comes with it! You and Steve still hold such a special place in our hearts. Vern and I send our love, and thank you deeply for these memories. We pray that you realize the fullness of God's grace during this time. Our love to you & yours.

Dear Brooks Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am an old friend of the Crichtons and so appreciated Steve's loving kindness and leadership at Katherine Crichtons funeral a few years ago. He was so comforting; clearly a very special man. When I was a teenager - Beth and I visited Steve and Kathy in Nebraska and they were both so welcoming and kind. My prayers are with you.

Dear Linda,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It seems like only yesterday that you and Steve were starting out together and helping to shape a group of young people as counselors at Camp Okane. Steve's joyful exhuberance and love for the Lord always was evident. I am so glad to be able to say that your lives and mine touched. I have always felt blessed by the two of you. I remember Ross as a little boy that we played with when my dad visited Steve. As you headed to Colorado,...

Dear Brooks Family,
Although you do not know me, please receive my condolences and yet my praise for the wonderful life of Steve. I was at General Synod when he urged us to make "Prayer" the number one priority of our lives and our mutual life together in the RCA. At present I am involved in a Prayer Group with men from our Church (Grace Reformed) and a Friday morning Pastor's Prayer Group. Also, our Church is presently instituting prayer walks in our neighborhood. I believe this...

Steve was an incredible man. I only new him for 7 years and he had an incredible, positive impact on my life and pastoral ministry. He was a good friend to listen when I was confused or troubled. He was a great mentor in keeping my faith and hope in Jesus and Jesus' Mission for my life. I have been greatly blessed and enriched by knowing Steve. I will miss him tremendously. I am extremely grateful that "Steve the Russian" and I had the privilege of visiting with Steve and Linda the week...

Ross-I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. Steve and Kathie were dear friends of mine in Omaha. They were so delighted and happy when you were born! No parents could have loved a child more.
Linda-I am so sorry for the loss of your partner and mate. When Steve married you, his life became complete again. The addition of Ben and Bree made his life full.
I think most who knew him would say he made their life richer. He will be deeply missed.
