Richard "Brooks" Douglass– If lifetimes were measured in miles and meaning rather than years, Brooks lived a very full life. After a heroic six-year battle with cancer, Brooks passed away peacefully at home with family at age 56.
Brooks had a great sense of adventure. He traveled more than two million American Airlines miles through most continents and more than 40 countries making good friends along the way. At age 27, he was elected to the Oklahoma State Senate serving 12 years and championing groundbreaking legislation for crime victims' rights.
After the senate, Brooks co-created Heaven's Rain movie (later renamed The Amendment) to honor his parents and tell their family's true story of love, loss, and healing after a devastating crime. He was also a lawyer, an entrepreneur, and a soldier.
Of all things, Brooks would say he was most proud of his two children – Richard Brogan "Brody" and Micaela "Cali" Sue Douglass. His love for them and his wife Julea, his sister Leslie and her family motivated him every day to defeat cancer and build a future with them.
Now he rests at Chapel Hills Memorial Gardens with his beloved parents Richard and Marilyn Douglass who he has missed dearly 40 years.
His family is committed to continuing his life's work to support crime victims' rights, recovery, and restoration through The Amendment movie and DouglassHouse.org.
