Curtis Brooks - Rest in peace.
It is with a heavy heart I share that Curtis Brooks passed away on Thursday, July 11 after a very short battle with cancer. I reached out to him a week ago to see how he was doing, but didn't get a response. I received a text from his family this morning.
We had a game in flight mid-June, but he wasn’t feeling well and we postponed our game to the following week. He called me a few days later to tell me it was cancer. He decided to forgo chemo from the start.
I will miss my ASL pal. We played regularly over the past couple years until he moved from Wisconsin to take a pastoral call in Omaha. He needed a break in order to get settled in his new role and home. After roughly a year we reconnected and started playing again. Unfortunately, it is a game we will never complete this side of heaven.
I am sure a number of you knew and played Curtis. He was a true ASL sportsman, kind-hearted, positive, easy going… I could go on. I’ll miss Curtis, but I have many fond memories of gaming goodness and conversations about life. Rest in peace, friend.
