In Florida, Brad could live out his dream of sport fishing, entering and placing in several small tournaments, including the Pompano Beach Fishing Rodeo. Brad enjoyed many fishing trips with friends and family to Bimini, Bahamas. His passion for fishing continued throughout his life in the coastal waters of Pamlico Beach.

Once Brad retired from IBM, he and his wife Dee, moved to Pamlico Beach for a short time before returning to Florida, purchasing a home on the water in Delray Beach. They lived there until Dee passed away. In 2010, Brad moved to Washington Park with his son’s family, Bo Brooks, Billie Carol Stocks Brooks, and Hatteras Brooks.

Brad is predeceased by his father Samuel Brooks, mother Rose Brooks and his brother Dale Brooks. He is survived by his sister Barbara Magahey, and his children “Bo” Samuel Graham Brooks and Laura Brooks Williams. Brad has three grandchildren, Hatteras Brooks who lives in Washington, N.C., and two who live in Florida, Elizabeth Rose Stevens, and Frank Linder. He also has two great-grandchildren, Nicholas and Joseph.

Brad lived a full life on the water and off. Many, family and friends alike will miss him.
