Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 12th at the Edgemere Church of Christ in Wichita Falls, Texas, with Scott Franks officiating. Interment will follow at 4:00 PM at the Masonic Cemetery in Seymour under the direction of Lunn's Colonial Funeral Home.
A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and esteemed Attorney, John lived a life of integrity, service, and faith, leaving a lasting legacy in his community.
He was born on April 2, 1940, in Childress, Texas. Growing up on their family farm with his parents, Claude and Lois Brooks and one brother, Jerry Brooks, John learned the value of hard work. John grew up with a strong sense of purpose. He earned his undergraduate degree from Abilene Christian University and later graduated from the University of Houston Law School, earning his Juris Doctorate. John began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in the Harris County District Attorney's Office in Houston. In 1977, he moved his family to Wichita Falls, where he practiced law for nearly five decades. A licensed CPA, John also shared his expertise as an adjunct professor at Midwestern State University, teaching business law and federal income tax.
John was a pillar of his community and a faithful member of the Edgemere Church of Christ. He cherished his family, living in Wichita Falls with his beloved wife, Margie Malone Brooks of Seymour, Texas. Together, they raised two sons, Kevin L. Brooks and Jeffrey R. Brooks.
John was preceded in death by his son, Jeffrey R. Brooks, and his parents, Claude and Lois Brooks. He is survived by his wife, Margie and son, Kevin L. Brooks. John is also survived by Jeffrey's wife, his daughter-in-law, Trenna Danaher Brooks of Frisco, Texas; grandchildren, Jonathan Malone Brooks and his wife, Destiny, of Wichita Falls, Jameson Hunter Brooks and his wife, Lindsey, of Seymour, and Annabel Brooks; plus great-grandchildren, Baylee, Rhyder, and Liam.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Hospice of Wichita Falls.
John's wisdom, kindness, and unwavering faith will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
