With heavy hearts we inform you that Stephen Charles Brooks passed away suddenly on Saturday January 4th, 2014 at the age of 66. He was born in Saint John, a son of the late Charles and Margaret (Heans) Brooks, where he worked and later ran the family business until he retired to his second home in Digby. Anyone who knew Stephen would tell you what a warm and caring heart he had, also that he could find humor in anything. He enjoyed their summers at the cottage in St. Andrews. Stephen truly was a wonderful man and will be missed deeply by all. He is survived by partner, Linden Floyd Denton and brother, Richard Brooks.
