Jimmy Brooks, age 81, of Mint Hill, North Carolina passed away on Thursday, October 29, 2020 at Elmcroft of Harrisburg. Jimmy was born on September 17, 1939 in Monroe, North Carolina to the late Albert Ray and Nancy Kate Brooks.
He spent the majority of his career as a realtor then finished his career driving buses for Mecklenburg County School System, which he loved.
One of Jimmy's hobbies was being involved in racing cars. Pretty much anything involving cars - fixing, racing, demolishing, collecting; you name it!
He loved to go dancing, smoke cigarettes, tell jokes, and make people laugh. We will miss his contagious smile and infectious laugh.
He was predeceased by his wife of 49 years, Doris Jean Williams; great-granddaughter, Harper Lauren Brooks; sister, Lou Ann Funderburk; and brother, Morris Brooks.
Jimmy is survived by his sons, Tim (Patty), Scott (Patricia) and Terry (Trish); grandchildren, Tim Jr. (Beth), Megan (Josh) McGrath, Matthew (Heather), Mark (Cassandra), Terry, Jr. (Allison) and Kenny (Beka); and great-grandchildren, Jacob, Austin, Blain, Grayson, Isabella, Emma, Michael, Elijah, Annabelle and Blaize.
A memorial graveside service will be held at 2:00pm on Tuesday, November 3rd at Sunset Memory Gardens, 8901 Lawyers Road, Mint Hill, NC 28227.
The family would like to thank the staff at Elmcroft of Harrisburg for their love and care of Jimmy since December of 2017 and Hospice of Charlotte for the last 8 weeks of his life.
