In Loving Memory of Blake A. Brooks

BLAKE A. BROOKS, 28, of Charleston WV passed away on Friday, May 1, 2020.

He was known for his big beautiful smile and his big teddy bear hugs. Blake was a man of passion and strength.

Blake was a key figure on so many football teams around this state including South Charleston High School's 2008 and 2009 championship teams and Marshall University's Conference championship team of 2014.

 
His big smile was matched by his big heart he never met a stranger. Blake had a special way of putting people at ease and making them laugh even on their worst day. He was a powerful, optimistic, and inspiring man, Blake was a mentor to many. After graduating with his bachelor's in criminology from Marshall University, he continued professionally to mentor at Charleston Job Corp Center and coach high school football. With an energy unmatched by any, Blake's "Big Cheese" smile, big hugs, and incredible love will live on through those whose lives he has touched.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Emilee Brooks, and his unborn child. 

Donations made will help his family cover the cost of the funeral and support his baby.
