David Alexander Brooks, 80, of Statesville, passed away November 2, 2022, following a valiant battle.
Mr. Brooks was born March 18, 1942, in Charlotte, NC. He was the son of the late Fisher A. Brooks and Frances Hunter Brooks.
David is survived by his wife of thirty-five years, Mary Brooks, sisters, Carolyn Buboltz and Gloria Hinson as well as his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He is further survived by two precious canine friends.
David graduated Garinger High School and Central Piedmont Community College, both in Charlotte. He was a proud US Air Force veteran. Mr. Brooks held diverse jobs, including Headstart preschool teacher, guitar instructor, and oil rig offshore man. He retired in 2007 from All Seasons Marina as a boatyard manager/ travel lift operator and later enjoyed RV traveling and playing golf.
As he requested, there will be no service.
Life’s journey in not to arrive safely at the grave in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn-out shouting, “HOLYCOW… WHAT A RIDE!”
