Always and Forever ♾❤️ Your soulmate 💔❤️

My loving husband, I will love you forever ♾ ❤️Until we see each other again , I’ll cherish our memories together 🙏

Colin was
an unassuming quiet and big guy ……………

WHO would always give me a Bear Hug when I would arrive for a visit.

WHO spoke such loving and sweet words about what his sisters’ meant to him. 

WHO showed his genuine thoughtfulness 
when he quietly put his arm around me when he saw my tears,
 the day we said our final goodbye’s to Anthony.

WHO loved and took such wonderful care of Anthony and my amazing friend Michelle.

AND……..WHO would always make me laugh, when Michelle would tell him it was time to
go to the gym to get into shape……. He would smile mischievously and say,
“ But if I go to the gym and get into shape, then women everywhere would want me, and you wouldn’t want that would you” ?


The Loss Is Insurmountable !
Love you so much Michelle,

Sara



When I think of you, I think of a gentle giant. 
It took us a while to get you to  crack that smile, but when you smiled it was contagious.  I remember trying to get you to play games with us and when you did, I could see you fully enjoyed it. 
You will be missed! 
Give Anthony a kiss for me. 
Till we meet again,
Launa

Michelle, we are so saddened by the tragic loss of your Husband Colin. Colin was one of the finest people I have ever had the pleasure to know. He was kind, gentle, generous and had a heart that was full of love and goodness. The world is a far lesser place without Colin. He left you far to soon as he should have had many more years ahead, which makes his passing even more tragic. Michelle, may you be consoled in the years ahead by your lifetime of wonderful memories that you shared with Colin. We feel privileged to have known Colin and were fortunate to have him as our Friend. Colin will always be in our hearts and never forgotten...

Rip Mr Collin Gregory Brooks my best friend the best driver  
For you will always be remembered and a good worker driver father brother son and most of all a good husband 
You have been taken because you have been forgiven 
You have made it into heaven
I know I will see you soon 
As usual you are always two steps ahead of me 
 


We moved to Richmond Hill in July 2007, our first exposure to living in Canadian suburbia and we lucked out big time with our new neighbours, Colin & Michelle. It didn’t hurt that there was the Jamaican connection that sealed our friendship. For 10 wonderful years they opened their house to us. We enjoyed many a get together by the pool and hot tub, wonderful picnics in Milton all the time, being treated to top notch barbecue chicken, ribs and all the fixings. Colin's barbecue skills were legendary. 

We will miss Colin's shy but cheery smile, his easygoing nature, his willingness to pop by when he saw that we needed help with a mechanical or garden issue. 

We will miss you dearly, our friend! Walk good Colin. Walk good 💕


We have all lost a kind soul with the biggest heart and a disciplined mind, a truly precious and extraordinary person. So was our 35 year relationship... Colin's life could be in chaos but he would never show it, he would focus on the lighter side of things, find something to be thankful for and treated everyone as though they were precious too. His smile shined brightly so the path of others could be illuminated... I have never witnessed an angry Colin Gregory Brooks but he has left behind aching family and friends. I am crushed to the core but know nothing of God's plans... may his soul rest in peace. My sincere heartfelt condolences to the family. I'm forever here for you, blessed love.
From Colin, Hope and the kids.

Colin was one of the first people I met in concrete. My first day he told me it was all gonna be ok. He was always feeding me, even bringing me leftovers, claiming I was too skinny. His Rice and Peas will go down in the hall of fame as the best(he would never give me the recipe!!). He loved to show me his new tools in the garage and introduced me to RainX(yay!). He hugged me every time he saw me, he was a great hugger! Colin and Mich are family, I will love them forever.

My condolences to Michelle, Natahlya and family. So unbelievable and sad that Colin was taken so soon.  He was easy going  and welcoming when ever we visited.  He worked hard to create the successful companies. Dedicated to his family and friends.  He was the ultimate Chef, cooking and barbecuing for the gatherings. 
He was Michelle’s love and rock, they were each other’s Yin and Yang.  
We will always remember his smile and chuckle.   Rest In Peace.

To shocking to understand. A wonderful husband, father and stepfather. Devoted to his family. A great friend to many.  Our hearts break for you Michele. We know he was your rock. 

Colin, 
this man brings comfort, humbleness and welcoming vibes to everyone.
 Although we live far away and our visits were never enough, we felt loved and included all the time. 
Our kids loved going over hanging out with the family for good food, and laughter. Even learned how to swim in the pool and loved relaxing in the hot tub. 
We’ll never forget this man’s strong hugs and  beautiful smile. 
Every time we looked over at him the warmth you felt by his charming smirk made everything feel better. 
He will be truly be missed forever. 
With love, 
Andrew, Melanie, Trey, Neveah Brooks. 

Always gave me the best/right advice in life whenever we spoke to each other. As a big brother should. He always made sure I was on the right track in life.

Although Colin has been a member of our family for a long time it is really only in the last few years that we have spent time together and come to know him……. and as a cousin of ours  recently wrote ‘to know him was to love him’.  He was such a gracious, welcoming host, and he and Michelle hosted many of us quite often. My favourite memory of Colin will be his beautiful smile and huge bear hugs. Rest well Colin.

Dear Michelle,
I am so sad that Colin has left us so soon. My condolences to you. I will miss Colin’s kindness and will miss his smile. 
You are in my prayers. 
Love you,

Our sincere condolences on the passing of Colin.  Colin's kind and friendly  personality touch everyone who knew him.  He was always calm and a smile was never far.  We will miss his presences in our lives.  Rest In Peace till we meet again.   

Hope, Colin and Family.

Dear Colin, you left without warning, you were gone so fast. We did't even get a chance to say goodbye.  

You were such a good person, a caring man, a loving husband to my sister Michelle, a loving brother-in-law, a great friend and always there for the family. 

We’ll never forget the family BBQ's where you always cooked up a magnificent feast for family and friends "Your meals were always so yummy".  

We'll remember the sound of your voice and the sparkle in your eyes. You were loved by so many. The memories we had throughout the years will last forever with laughter and tears.

We will miss you, things will never be the same without you.  In our hearts you'll always be remembered.  

See you on the other side!

Your Brother-In-Law Harry 
& Sister-In-Law Debbie

Colin was well liked and very respected by everyone he worked with at BNK Transport Ltd.  From fellow drivers to all the customers he was in contact with.  There will be a huge void at BNK without his kind nature and big smile.  Our condolences go out to his family at this very difficult time.
