Pete was born in Davidson County on September 17, 1944, to James Oliver Brooks and Mollie Gregg Brooks. He was a brick mason by trade, a member of Shiloh United Methodist Church, and a retired volunteer firefighter/EMT within the community. Pete had an infectious personality, and he never met a stranger. He could tell a story like no one else and was a wonderful depiction of a family man. Pete was a loving husband, father, and grandfather whose memory will be cherished forevermore. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Michael “Dane” Brooks; and his sister, Linda Sue Davis; and a grandchild, Molleigh Cheyenne Dublin.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 56 years, Gloria Whittington Brooks; his daughter, Amanda “Mandi” Brooks Dublin; and his precious grandchildren, Addison Faith Dublin, and Grayson Michael Dublin.
