'Brian Keith Brooks, aka Pokey, "Big Daddy", Mr. Brooks and most recently "Old Bald Head Pokey", departed this life on Friday, May 17, 2019.

He had a peculiar but very personal relationship with God. He was employed by Calcasieu Parish School Board until an
unfortunate accident forced him into retirement after 30 years of faithful and dedicated service.

Brian was loved by everyone he came in to contact with. After 15 minutes of ranting and raving, he would give the shirt off his back to anyone.

Brian was preceded in death by his mother, Pearlie B. Brooks; his grandmother, Viola Mitchell; and one brother, Ronald W. Brooks, Sr.

Cherishing his memories are thre e brothers Donald (Artinna) Brooks, Sr., Timothy(Cheryl)Barnes and Jeffery Brooks, all of Lake Charles, Louisiana; three sisters, Janet (Craig) Stevens of Downey, California, Joyce Brooks Francis of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and LaShane (Leonard) Martin of Beaumont, Texas; a companion, Shayla Mitchell;one God child, Terrance Brooks; his dog, Mac; and a host of other nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
