Thomas Brooks Obituary

Thomas Lloyd Brooks "Brooksy" 62, of Erlanger, Kentucky passed away on Sunday September 21st, 2025 surrounded by his loving family.

A proud graduate of Dayton High School's Class of 1981, Tom was known for his athleticism on the basketball court and his vibrant personality that left a lasting impact on all who knew him. He continued his education at Sioux Empire College, laying the groundwork for a career centered around caregiving and education.

Affectionately known as "Brooksy" Tom had an infectious spirit. Often described as the life of the party, he never met a stranger and had an uncanny ability to make everyone feel welcome. Whether sharing stories or cracking a joke, he brought warmth and energy wherever he went.

He was an avid sports fan. Some of his favorite moments were spent watching the Cincinnati Reds with his son Thomas or enjoying football Sunday's with his best friend Larry.

Tom shared his life with his beloved partner Debbie and embraced their blended family with love and laughter.

He is lovingly remembered by his partner Debbie, son Thomas , Step-children Robin (Rachel), Aaron, Amber and Ron, grandchild Alexis and great grandson Christian, and sister Tracie (Bill).

He was preceded in death by his parents Charlie and Pat Brooks and brother Tigger Brooks.

Memorial Service will be 6:00 pm Thursday, September 25, 2025 with a visitation from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals & Receptions - Northern Kentucky Chapel, 4350 Dixie Highway, Erlanger, Kentucky 41018.
