Joshua Steven Brooks

February 7, 2004 - January 9, 2018

Joshua Steven Brooks, beloved son of Ralph & Ida Brooks and loving little brother of Matthew W. Brooks returned to heaven after a loan from God, laughing, loving, teasing and bringing joy every day of his 13 years, 11 months. Joshua attended Holy Spirit Catholic School as an 8th grader, where he excelled not only as a student, but as a bright and wonderful young man.

His very large faith-filled family will remember his infectious smile, his affectionate nature and his fun-loving personality. His sense of humor brought light into the lives of every person who was blessed with knowing him. Family and friends sorrowfully accept that angels are not ours, but under the command of our Heavenly Father.

Loved by Grandparents Lillian Burchfield (Great), Raul Rivas (deceased) and Angelina G. Rivas and Robert B. and Janice Brooks, Aunts and Uncles Evangelina and Joaquin Acosta, Raul Jr. and Annette Rivas, Patricia and Javier Esparza, Ricardo and Sandra Rivas, Robert Jr. and Bonnie Brooks and Michael and Tammie Brooks.
