Obituary for Jerome Roland Brooks Sr.
Jerome Roland Brooks was born February 27, 1953 in Toledo, OH to Charles Brooks and Juanita Jay. He was the first of four children. He attended Scott High School in Toledo and graduated early to join the work force. Jerome went on to complete some college much later in his life and was on the Dean’s list at Lourdes College.
Jerome began working for Ford Motor Company at an early age. Starting off at the Woodhaven plant in Michigan then later working at the Stamping plant in Maumee, OH. It was at the stamping plant where he made many very close friends. After working for 31 years for Ford Motor Company he and his wife Wanda built their dream home and he entered retirement. With Jerome being the go getter that he was, he continued to work other jobs including Semi truck driving, dumpster truck driving, and medical transit.
In the year of 2012 Jerome’s love for Jesus the Christ deepened and he fully devoted himself to studying the Holy Bible, fasting, and praying to gain more knowledge and understanding. In July of 2014, under the direction of the Holy Spirit, The Church Of The Living God The Pillar And Foundation Of The Truth was started and was overseen by Servant Jerome Brooks, which he liked to be called.
Every message that Servant Jerome Brooks gave was delivered under the power and authority of the Holy Spirit. Not only did he teach and preach within the pulpit but he did so in his daily walk.
Jerome met his wife in 1974 at a local restaurant in Toledo, OH and began dating. After 5 years of dating under the direction of the Holy Spirit they married February 6, 1979. Jerome and Wanda were married for 41 years.
Jerome was preceded in death by his father Charles Brooks, his brother Patrick Porter, his granddaughter Telayah Hughes, and his grandmother Viola Jay whom was much more than a grandmother to him. He is survived by his wife Wanda Brooks, mother Juanita Cole, his sons, Jerome (Jasmine) Brooks II and Donald Brooks, his daughters, Kyatto (Patrick) Nelson, Alaka (Tellus) Hughes, Nikeesha Sims, and Donmeca Fricke. He is also survived by his brother and sister, Brenford (Judy) Brooks, Constance Brooks, and his very special Aunt and Uncle Melva Scott and Marion Cunningham.
