Beach Smith Brooks, age 85, went to join his beloved wife, Pat, in Heaven on June 9, 2017 at Treasure Coast Hospice. He was born in Bridgeton, New Jersey on December 10, 1931 and moved to Stuart as a boy in 1944.

His parents, Joseph Richmond and Bessie Abigail Brooks, and his wife Patricia Sullivan Brooks (Pat) preceded him in death.

Beach is survived by his children: Mark Brooks (Diane), Paul Brooks (Mimi), and Jenny Nichols (Mark). Surviving him also are seven grandchildren: Joelle Farley (Patrick), Beach Brooks, Jake Reynolds, Shella Brooks, Janette Stephan, Christian Bonacci, Alicia Bonacci, and his brother Richie Brooks (Polly).

He was a devoted husband to Pat, a loving Papa' to his grandkids, and a friend to all he met. The world will be a smaller place without his big heart and presence.

Navy. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Treasure Coast Hospice. A guest registry may be signed at www.treasurecoastseawinds.com
