Edgar Brooks Obituary
The family will receive friends on Thursday evening, April 10, 2025 from 6-8 p.m. at Stanly Funeral and Cremation Care of Locust.
EJ was born in Stanly County on October 9, 1942, to the late Edgar and Lucille Brooks.
He is lovingly survived by his wife Mary Brooks of 62 years.
Those also left to cherish his memory are his son Brian Brooks and his wife Crystal of Mt. Pleasant; grandchildren Katlyn Brooks and Nathan Andell; great-grandchildren, Oaklyn, Miller, and Racker; and sister Shelby Eugene Hathcock.
EJ was preceded in death by his stepsister Bonnie Connell.
EJ was a jack of all trades and there was no task he couldn't complete. He loved hunting and fishing with his son. He enjoyed traveling to the beach when his health permitted.
EJ loved his family and enjoyed spending time with them. He will be missed by all who knew him.
The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the Staff at Tucker Hospice House for the care provided to EJ during his declining health.
Stanly Funeral and Cremation Care of Locust is serving the Brooks family.
