Luxton "Buddy" Brooks

Hey, daddy. It’s me your sassy ashy here. I miss you so much, constantly. It’s sad to say but I think you’d want me to be able to live my life. It’s been 13 years and while I constantly miss you. I’ve finally accepted your gone and this is my life.i still have worse days then others. But I try to imagine you at peace and with cori, joe , Adam ; your children in heaven with you and many other relatives. You have your parents with you as well. I try to imagine your all up in heaven at peace, having a barbecue together on a beautiful sunny day outside. By the lake . It happens often that I’ll do something and solve something and I think,yep that’s from my dad right there ,he taught me that. You taught me to be independent, handle my own, be strong , adaptable , and a problem solving. Also I have your gift for gab if only I had your killer instinct in sales ,I mean. I would make a hell of a salesman. I am truly yours and moms half and half . I got all those skills from you and I got your sentimental ness and people probably wouldn’t believe it but your sensitivity. You just didn’t allow everyone to see it. Because men aren’t supposed to be sensitive in the generation you grow up in or the following one but finally I think that’s changing. I got moms caregiver heart, big ol heart, kindness etc… I am thankful you are and will forever be my dad . No passed tense. Because that didn’t change because you passed . I love you to the moon and back .

Have fun with dad.

I am sad to learn of Buddy’s passing. Somehow I thought that he would live forever. Buddy and I were friends in the 1970’s and “hung-out” occasionally. We always had a good time. We were both from North Minneapolis. We would bump into each other now and then in later years. It’s been 30 years since I last saw him (sadly). I remember Buddy as a nice, fun, laid-back, good-looking and considerate guy. I will never forget his beaming smile that would light up the room!

Rest in peace my friend!

well hey dad, it’s been a while. Crazy it’s been over four years all ready I said before it felt like an eternity but I think I was wrong. It still doesn’t feel real. I still feel like you here and I just haven’t seen you in a while. But when it hits me some days it hits hard. Yet it still feels like yesterday. I love you dad and no matter where you are, you are with me. And most people say not a day goes by I don’t think of you… But there are days I don’t sometimes I feel guilty but I just don’t believe it yet so I feel like I can pick up the phone and call you. JALEAH my daughter whole is now two will forever know and understand who her grandpa was. R.I.P dad. I truly miss you.

Dad, i miss you so much, its been well over a year since you passed and it feels like its been eternity. I remember when i was younger you helped me get my independence, you grew up a great man, father and friend. I Hope my husband becomes as you where. I miss you dearly. Please Rest In Peace. You Are In My Heart.

The older I get, the less I understand about death and what to say to those who’ve gone. I love you… and I know that you know that I love you. and that’s all there is to say. We’ll do our best. I wish you were here to see it.

We did live
We did share time
We chose our Family
You made good memorie

Although we never met, I was related to Buddy as a distant cousin to his Mom. I’d like you all to know how sorry I am for your loss. God bless.

Our prayers are with you and your family during this time! God Bless and Keep you!-The Wrens

May guide you in to greatest, dearest uncle Buddy. You will be cherished andremembered forever. With love, Angie and family
