In Memory Of A Friend

             Tony Brooks 1956 - 1999

 

When we think of Tony the first think that comes to my mind is brotherhood, because Tony was a true example of what the brotherhood means. It was just a short while ago, six riders rode off on a windy day down to Delta, Utah to lead a motorcycle procession for another fallen brother at the request of the family and I can still hear Tony’s words in my heart "this is the way it should be, "one last rumble".

We never heard this brother speak badly about anything or anybody and when it came to the kids or rides involving anything to do with helping his fellow man, he was always the first to arrive, no matter if it was snowing, raining or forty mile per hour winds… he was always there. When we look into the skies and see the sparkling stars, we see his eyes filled with laughter and a smile on his face for all of us to remember.

Tony wore many hats in his lifetime he was a loving father of four children, served 20 years in the U.S. Army and was attending Provo College working on a medical degree. He also loved motorcycling, scuba diving and he was a pilot.

We will miss you Tony, now and forever and we  pray, if we ever need a guardian angel that it will you Tony, riding along side of us. You will always be remembered as a man who overcame life’s problems and trials and lived his life with honor and without regret and as someone who was always there for anyone of us whenever we needed you, a true brother of the wind.
