Nelson Brooks Obituary
Concord, NH - Nelson E. Brooks, Sr. died on Monday, August 14, 2023 at Elliot Hospital in Manchester. He was born on March 12, 1944 in Lynn, MA and grew up in Derry, NH.
Nelson was a 1962 graduate of Pinkerton Academy. He entered the military and served his country in the Air Force during Vietnam. The working years took him from W.T. Grants to where he eventually retired with Goodyear Tire and Sullivan Tire.
He had the pleasure of two great sons that he took hunting and fishing and was proud of the adults they became, with the love and guidance from his loving wife, Suzanne.
Nelson was the epitome of a patriot. He loved his country, serving in the military, Boy Scouts of America, and as a volunteer at the Veteran's Home in Tilton, NH.
He was predeceased by his oldest son, Nelson Jr.
He is survived by his wife, Suzanne (Dionne) Brooks; son, Shawn Brooks; sister, Heather Letusky of Maryland; and brother, Robert of MA.

It was a year ago that we lost a wonderful person and friend. I still think of him and miss the conversations we use to share. His Legion family at Post 21 bring his name up frequently. Sue and Shawn, Hope you´re having good memories of Ned during this time of sorrow. You both were his pride and joy.

My condolences to Sue and family. Ned was loved by many. We had many talks together and became very close. Seems like we had the same bringing up. He was a dedicated veteran. He assisted many on how to get into the VA and get their deserving benefits. Fly High My Friend.
