John Wayne Brooks

Uncle Wayne,.... I just dont know what to say,.... Except that I love you. You were always one of my hero's and I thought everything you did and said was just so kool! You always told me that you and I were way too much alike,... that we were "THE BLACK SHEEP" ,... yeah, I reckon we were. I will surely miss you and your sense of humor. Keep a skooter warmed up and ready so when I get there, We can ride them Streets of Gold together! LOVE YA BRO!

JW was a good friend and will be missed. Had the pleasure of meeting JW in West Africa where we had worked together for a number of years. May he rest in peace.

Sending my love and deepest symathy to Tolece, Hope and Kim. Wish I could be there with you today. Instead I am having to send my hugs long distance. Wayne was more like my big brother than an uncle. Such a character! Praying for peace and comfort for the Brooks family in the weeks to come.

Wayne....I was 8 yrs old when you were born and you took the title of "baby of the family" from me. I was so happy to have a little brother and that has remained true all through the years. You were so special to all of us and you will be missed beyond measure. I will always treasure the memories we have especially the childhood ones!! I know how much you loved Tolece and Hope and Kim and they will have my love and prayers during the difficult days ahead.

We rode a lot of miles together. Good friend and good soldier. Glad I had the opportunity to know you and work with you. You always had my back.

I met John in Malongo, Angola. Throughout the years getting to know him had been a great pleasure. John always knew how to lighten the mood and always found humor no matter what situation. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends who will doubtlessly feel the loss as do I. Rest In Peace brother! I am sure you are in a better place.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Tolece, Hope, and Kim. May God show you comfort and peace in your time of need.
I'm sorry for your loss and I know you will miss him.

I had the pleasure of meeting John Wayne once I began working in Angola. It was great getting to know him and I thoroughly enjoyed being around him. My prayers are with the family in this time. God always has a plan. May he continue to hold you all close together. John, you will SURELY be missed, but never forgotten!

Although miles apart and we had not seen each other in so long - I will always think of you as my handsome and funny Uncle Wayne. Your beautiful smile and handsome looks reminded me so much of my dad - I know he will miss his little brother. You always made me laugh when I visited Mississippi and although my Jessica was young she still remembers you and how fun you were to be around. May God be with your precious family during this time - WE love you and will miss you.
