Death notice for the town of: SUSSEX, Province: Nouveau-Brunswick
Dear Marion and family, Mike Brooks, will be dearly missed by so many persons.
Our dearest sympathy to all the family, Marion, his devoted loving wife, daughter June and Steve Humphrey, son Dennis and Anne Brooks; and all the grand and great grand children.
You all were of great comfort for Mike, during his time of need .
Mike and Marion are my Aunt and Uncle, they are an example for all, when it comes to living and caring not only for family, but also many, of their many friends, from Sussex all the way to Florida.
Uncle Mike was , and still is a hero in our family’s hearts.
We were fortunate enough to have them visit with us when ever one of their many travel trips lead them this way. We loved hearing all their stories, and the driving tours through beautiful country places in New Brunswick ,Donald and I remember all the places . Uncle Mike liked to drive and tell us the history of each destination.
His service picture shows the cute young man who signed up to do his duty, and when I look at many pictures I have of Mike and Marion, there is that love showing through I always will remember. Rest in peace, love Don and Debra, and family
