Harry Brown Brooks was born on January 16, 1935, to the union of Fred and Lottie Brooks in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Harry received his formal education in Mississippi. Later, Harry moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin with his family at an early age.
Harry accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior and was a member of St. Mark African Methodist Episcopal Church in Milwaukee, WI. On July 3, 1957, Harry was united in holy matrimony with Elgee Lockett in Milwaukee, WI. From this union four children were born.
Harry was a machinist by trade and worked at Mercury Marine where he retired after 42 years of service. Harry was a social and active man who walked six days a week for 2 hours each day. Harry loved hunting and fishing - especially turkey hunting and walleye fishing. Harry enjoyed hunting big and small game - deer, black and brown bear, moose, elk, grouse, pheasant, squirrels, and rabbits. Harry got a kick out of catching walleyes, flat-head catfish, crappies, bluegills, and perch - just not dog fish.
Harry departed this life on October 14, 2020, at 9:47 AM. He was preceded in death by his father, Fred Brooks; mother, Lottie Brooks; five sisters, Ethel, Hazel, Mary, Bobbie, and Shirley; five brothers, Clyde, Robert, Herbert, Marvin, and Guy; sons, Darnell, and Harold; and one grandson, jiyto.
Harry leaves to cherish his memories: His loving and devoted wife of 63 years, Elgee Brooks of Milwaukee, WI; son, Lawrence Brooks of Milwaukee, WI; daughter, Gwenette Brooks of San Diego, CA; brother, Kelly Brooks of Milwaukee, WI; two grandsons, Lorenzo of San Diego, CA, and Toran of Milwaukee, WI; two granddaughters, Lawrencia of Milwaukee, WI; and Angel of Atlanta, GA; four great grandchildren, Dajah, Dmondre, and Mary all of Milwaukee, WI; and a very special bond with his 6 year old great granddaughter, JiyKayla of Milwaukee, WI; and a host of other relatives and friends.
