Stephen Marshall Brooks
May 12, 1948 — June 11, 2019
Stephen M. Brooks, 71, of Jacksonville passed away on June 11, 2019 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Steve was born in Farmville, Virginia to Thomas W. Brooks, Jr. and Frances Dudley Brooks. He graduated with bachelor's degrees from Hampden Sydney College (political science) and Virginia Tech (accounting). He was a certified public accountant and practiced with his brother for 39 years. He was respected and highly regarded by his colleagues and employees.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Miten Patel and his wonderful caring staff.
Steve is survived by his beloved wife Cheryl, and Lisa Legeer (daughter Emily Alexander) and Heather Gauthier (daughter Zoe) who Steve loved as his own. His family included brother Thomas W. Brooks, III, sisters Nancy Neill (Mel), Ann Gray Brooks, extended family and many friends.
Steve was a gentle soul and was loved by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He never met a stranger and had many friends from all walks of life. Steve's joy for life, positive attitude and generosity are just a few of his many wonderful qualities. He will be missed at his favorite spots, from the golf course, to the yacht club, the family outings, and just driving in his new car.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in Steve's memory. Visit www.donate.lls.org or call 904-332-6414.
