Jay Edward Brooks

Jay Edward Brooks was born October 6th, 1959 in Las Animas, Colorado to Joe and Betty Brooks. He grew up in Longmont playing many sports and came to love baseball, basketball, golf, hunting and fishing. His knowledge allowed him to umpire high school baseball and competitive softball. Peoria, AZ became his home after retirement where he lived with his Dad, Joe Brooks for 6 years. Jay passed away peacefully, at home, in Longmont on Apr 12, 2023.

Jay is survived by his father, Joe Brooks, of Longmont, his brother, Sam Brooks, of Highland's Ranch, his sisters, Sandy Stephens, of Cleveland TN and Sharyl Artino of Boulder, CO as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Betty Brooks and his sister, Joanie Revielle. He's also preceded in death by his grandparents, his Uncle Jerry and his ex wife, Kim Miller Lidkea.

Life was cut short for Jay, by health issues, but he did enjoy himself along the way. We ask that you remember him as the vibrant, funny, soft spoken man that he was in his prime.

In lieu of flowers the family encourages you donate to your favorite charity, in his name.
