BROOKS, Jr., Woody Hardman Born October 11, 1943 in Winston Salem, NC. The son of Woody Hardman Brooks Sr. and Ann Busick Brooks. He was was predeceased by his mother and father. He is survived by his sister Kathryn (Kitty) Brooks Johnson and his two dogs: Taffy and Fronz. Woody attended Oak Ridge Military Academy, Camden Military Academy, and Oglethorpe College. Woody grew up in Andrews, SC and spent his summers in Pawley's Island. He spent most of his adult life living in Atlanta. Among his many accomplishments, Woody was an Eagle Scout, owned Woody Brooks Designs, and was incredibly involved in the arts and photography community in Atlanta. Woody worked with the Olympic Committee is Seoul, South Korea and was instrumental in bringing the Olympics to Atlanta in 1996. Woody was known amongst his friends and family as a vibrant spirit with an infectious zest for life. He made everyone he met feel like his best friend. Woody was extremely generous with all he had to give: his time, his money, his care, and his love. Heaven gained one heck of a party and event planner. A memorial service and celebration of a life well lived will be held at a later date.

Woody and I were best buddies in the late 50's and 60's. He was one of the most creative people I have ever known. We had just re-encountered each other a couple of weeks earlier and were planning to have lunch together.

Sending my deepest condolences for your recent loss. Losing someone we love is one of the most devastating experiences in life, and the pain can seem unbearable. But trusting our loving heavenly father, the God of all comfort, can fortify us and give us much needed comfort and peace Ps. 29:11.

Woody was so special to me. After working on the Olympics, he was the first designer that I freelanced for. He was so good to me and was so fun. I will always cherish the great times that we had together and his infectious lover of life. Farewell my dear friend.

Woody was one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of working for. He always had something funny to say, and you knew you wouldn't be hungry as it was gourmet cuisine! His kindness and graciousness went way beyond the job. Thoughts and prayers for your family, you will be missed.

To The Brooks Family:

It is often with great sadness that we say goodbye to a loved one in death. We know that at some point in our lives this can happen, but we're never prepared for when it does. We can find comfort in the words at Hosea 13:14. I offer my deepest condolences to you at this difficult time.

Woody was one of the funniest, most artistic, most humane and beautiful friends anyone could ever have. Those memories of laughter, criticizing social and political hypocrites, good jokes and just seeing what else he could create kept us busy on many an occasion and will do so in the future. Our regards to Kitty, Allen and the little ones. Woody, we will never forget you.

Woody and I were buddies back in the late 50's and created a lot of mischief together. We had just reconnected and planned to have lunch together. This breaks my heart.
