Ronnie Brooks

Ronnie’s Journey On July 25, 2025, in Delmar, MD, our Heavenly Father sent an angel with a tender whisper: “Ronnie Brooks, your earthly journey is complete. Come home and rest.” Ronnie transitioned peacefully, entering into everlasting life. Born on September 24, 1951, in Kinston, North Carolina, Ronnie was the beloved son of the late Leon and Estella Brooks. Ronnie was educated in Wicomico County, graduating from Wicomico Senior High School in 1969. He earned a Bachelor’s in Economics from Morgan State University in 1975 and later pursued studies in Computer Programming and Operations at Control Data Institute in 1984. His professional journey was marked by dedication and innovation. Ronnie served as a Program Engineer at Spectra in Baltimore, MD, and later as Vice President of Program Analysis at Enterprise in St. Louis, MO. He also shared his expertise by teaching Data Programming at Anne Arundel Community College. His commitment to excellence earned him numerous accolades throughout his career. After retiring, Ronnie returned to Maryland’s Eastern Shore, a place close to his heart. He found joy in quiet moments with his loved ones and wife Clarice, a book nearby, or simply watching television with his signature thoughtful pose— legs crossed at the ankle, one finger resting on his temple. Though soft-spoken, his presence was profound. Ronnie’s spiritual journey began early in life and continued to flourish at Great Commission Community Church. As a man of faith, love, and quiet strength his legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Ronnie’s memory will be cherished by: his devoted wife of 51 years, Clarice Brooks; his children, Derick Brooks (Latanya) of York, PA, and Michelle Brooks of Delmar, MD; his brother Fred Brooks (Rebecca); sisters, Joyce Cox and Sandra Thomas, both of Salisbury, MD; sister-in-law, Teresa Bryant of Salisbury, MD and brother-in-law, Howard Parker, Jr. of Delmar, DE. He will be deeply missed by his grandchildren—Paige Brooks, Arielle Pompey, Jordan Brooks, Taylor Brooks, Jerelle Campbell, and Jermaine Campbell—and great-grandchildren, Eden Touré, Jania Campbell, and Aria Clarke. Ronnie also leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Clarence Earl Jones, Earnest Brooks, and Herman Brooks and sisters, Stella Brooks-Heath, Colleen Brooks-Branch, and Edna Tensley.
