Born August 25, 1943, in Vernon County, Missouri, Dave was the third of six children born to David and Francis Brooks. He graduated from Hume High School.
Dave was a veteran who served in the United States Army. It was during this time that his sister Norann asked him to write a friend she had met, Patricia A. Dragoo. They wrote letters to each other and finally met and fell in love. They were married on May 29, 1965, in Independence, Missouri, and they enjoyed 54 years of marriage.
Dave was a member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for 47 years. He was a High Priest and pastor for many years. He attended the Mt. Zion Restoration Branch. He loved the Lord. He had a generous heart and helped many people throughout his life.
He worked in the Fastener Industry, operating for several years, and then for 9 years, he owned BTM, Inc., a company that manufactured/distributed bent & threaded products. For several years, he was a developer and contractor for building residential homes. He started up and owned Quality Fasteners for 7 years but decided to sell when he found out he had cancer.
He owned registered black Angus cattle and had quarter horses. He loved fishing and being outdoors. He loved spending time with his family! He had a great sense of humor and was so much fun to be around.
Dave is survived by his wife, Pattie Brooks, and two children: Carrie Hamilton (Scott) & Christie Fountain (Craig); 7 grandchildren: Jason (Cathy), Kyle, Jacob, Joseph (Margaret), Anna (Chris), Emma, & Josh; 5 great-grandchildren: Carley, Jarom, Grace, Addy, & Elouise; 4 sisters: Norann Brooks, Rita Burns (Kenneth), Mildred Bell, & Helen Owens (David); and 1 brother: Frank Brooks (Barb).
