Obituary
Rev. Jim F. Brooks, who resided in Paris, Arkansas, died Thursday, June 16, 2016, in Paris at the age of 73. He was born May 22, 1943, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, the son of Rev. A.R. and Velma (Clem) Brooks, both of whom preceded him in death. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by four brothers, Herman Brooks, J.R. Brooks, Eldon Brooks, and William Eugene Brooks; two sisters, Velma (Brooks) Smith and Nancy Brooks.
A United Methodist minister for more than 52 years, he served dozens of churches in all parts of the state. A gifted preacher, but an even better shepherd to his congregations, he leaves behind multitudes of former parishioners for whom he modeled Christ by his compassion and grace. His entire life was a sermon.
Funeral service will at 2:00 p.m. Monday, June 20th, at Brotherton Funeral Home Chapel in Paris, with the Rev. Randy Ludwig officiating. Burial will be at Caulksville Cemetery in Caulksville, under the direction of Brotherton Brothers Funeral Home and Flower Shop in Paris.
He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Anna (Mainer) Brooks, of Paris; three children, Jim F. (Meesa) Brooks Jr., of North Little Rock, Beth (Douglas) Cobb of Barling, and Jeff Brooks of Fort Smith ; a brother, Joe Brooks of Fort Smith; six grandchildren, Tashee Johnson, James Michael Brooks, Benjamin Cobb, Kaitlin Cobb, Emily Brooks, and Nick Brooks; two great-grandchildren, Ryleigh and Calii; Sue Hutchison, of Malvern, who he referred to as his "adopted" daughter; and a host of nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers will be Douglas Cobb, Benjamin Cobb, Nick Brooks, Steve Smith, Joe Hurdle and Steve Ford.
Visitation will be from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Sunday at Brotherton Brothers Funeral Home in Paris.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Alzheimer's Association, 4300 Rogers Ave., Suite # 24, Fort Smith, AR, 72903, and to Shoal Creek Camp, c/o Renee Henson, 1102 Northview Drive, Van Buren, AR, 72956.
