Kermit Bruce Brooks, 61, of South Pittsburg, TN passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 3, 2023 with his loving family by his side.

He was preceded in death by his father, Kermit Brooks Jr., who he loved dearly and is, without a doubt, alongside him now watching over his family.

Bruce was born on November 9th, 1961, to Ina and Kermit Brooks Junior in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. Bruce was a selfless, loving, and kind man who will be remembered by the lives he touched. He will be remembered for all the heart he shared with his friends and family. He truly loved each of them and if you knew him, you knew it. When his time came, he carried himself with dignity, strength, and full of love for those who went before him. He will be missed dearly.

Bruce retired from Arcade Printing Company after working tirelessly all the years of his life to ensure he was a wonderful provider for his family.

Bruce truly cherished precious moments with loved ones while eating and making others laugh.  His favorite things were hunting, fishing, and watching sports (Go Vols!)
