Jimmy Michael Brooks
It is with profound sadness that the family of Jimmy Michael Brooks announces his passing on February 23, 2025. He was 72.
A lifelong resident of Ooltewah, Jimmy was a 1970 graduate of Ooltewah High School.
Michael loved his career with the Electric Power Board and took great pride in “keeping the lights on”.
As a child he roamed the woods and creeks with this precious mother and delighted in spending long days on the Brooks Farm with his cousins. He also enjoyed many days on the lake, bass fishing and spent hours making homemade lures.
He was a devoted family man and will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him.
He was preceded in death by his loving parents, Jimmy Flynn and Iva Jean (Ball) Brooks.
He is survived by his loving wife Candy Brooks; his children, Wendy (Jonathan) Brown and Nathan (Daryth) Hood; the light of his life; his grandchildren, Gracie and Jake Hood; his lifelong friend and sister, Mary (Harold) Hyde and her children, Jimmy and Steven Hood; his sisters and brothers in love, Diane Runyan, Kathy (Jay) Dedmon, Tina (Jon) Lutz as well as many loved nieces, nephews, cousins, and longtime friends.
In accordance with Michael’s wishes there will be no formal visitation or service.
