Paul Dean Brooks

A man known for his strong work ethic. Paul held a CDL 2 license and could back up a trailer better than anyone around. He took pride in teaching others the value of hard work.

Paul built a life many would call a dream; he owned two trucks and a house with land where he raised chickens, dogs, and enjoyed watching wild deer on the back side of his property.

Paul struggled as he battled bipolar disorder. His final years were not kind to him. His final episode led to the loss of many things he held near and dear to him. His wife, Lana, remained by his side for 28 years before leaving and his family is forever grateful for her.

He had a deep love for music and listened to all genres as long as they sounded good and loud, he enjoyed it. He will be remembered by his sons as a loving father, son, and brother. He cherished his mother and family deeply and always emphasized the importance of taking care of those you love.

For Paul, a perfect day was spent outdoors with the sun shining and working in the yard.

Paul is survived by his wife, Lana Henry; his mom, Glenda Morgan (Daniels) of Meeker, Oklahoma; children Cory Driver of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Cody Driver (Sarah Lathrop) of Meeker, Oklahoma; Brandi Jorboe (Michael); Paul Brooks Jr. (Harper) and Casey Driver of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; brothers Harold Brooks; Bobby Brooks (Michelle Smith) of Meeker, Oklahoma; Montana Brooks, of Eufala, Oklahoma; sister-in-law Jennifer Brooks of Meeker, Oklahoma; and grandchildren AnnaLee, Triton, Malanie, Kai Lathrop and Emily Driver, as well as 7 nieces and 10 nephews.
