Our beloved father, Thomas Brian
Brooks (Tarzan) of St. Mary’s First Nation passed over
peacefully into the Spirit World on November 28th, 2019. Tarzan was 66
years young. He was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick and was the
late son of Tom Brooks and Geraldine Paul. Tarzan was a man of many
trades and traveled the Fair Circuit with the King Reid and Bill Lynch
Show. He excelled from a long line of traditional basket makers. You
can often find many of his baskets throughout the community. He
enjoyed sitting by his picture window, watching a good ole hockey game
and having a few cold beers with his buddy « Teddy » as us
children would often laugh and refer to them as the « Grumpier Old
Men ».
Tarzan was survived by his three
children: William (Bill) Brooks (Jeannie Arbeau), Nicole Carty, and
Marystar Brooks (Jeremey Underhill), along with 13 grandchildren:
Tristen Chappelle (Toronto), Hart Brooks, Quentyn McCormack, Sicillie
McCormack, Alyssa Estey, Selena Brooks, Braeden Carty, Sadie Carty,
Ondrey Brooks, Isaac Underhill, Haidyn Underhill, Madden Underhill and
Nova Underhill. Brothers and Sisters: Shirley Howe (Morely), Maureen
Fox (Brian), Dean Brooks (Darlene), Wayne Brooks (Kim), Brad Paul
(Kerry) well as several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and a
few special sons and daughters: Brad Paul, Winton Saulis, Tyler
Brooks/Deb Martin and Olivia Sherry. He was predeceased by his wife
Mary Brooks (Guilderland, New York), Brothers: Walter Brooks, Jose
Paul, Sisters: Pauline Paul, Susan Brooks, Nephew: Douglas
Paul.
