Dear Sue, Kieran & Abby and precious Arabelle, Scott & Kate, In celebration of a life well lived. We will cherish the memories of John aka "Brookes" especially our adventure doing "Coast to Coast" and our bush walks preparing for "Queen Charlotte walk". Even though covid stopped our walk from happening in 2020. We will look forward to March 2021 when we will conquer the track in your honour and celebrate your memory. John you were a trooper right to the end, Where laughter and banter was your best friend. Rest in peace our friend. Thinking of you all at this difficult time. Forever in our hearts. Love Mark, Lynda & family xoxo

Thank you for everything you have done for me JB. A great source of inspiration and motivaiton during my early years. My condolences to the lovely Brookes family. Sending my blessings, knowing your essence will always be with us! Lots of love and light. JP Hassan

Dear Sue, what can we say, we were so shocked and saddened with the news of John's battle and his passing. Ili and I send you big hugs Sue and express our deepest sympathy to you, the boys and their family. It always feels like yesterday, those Tyco years, memories we will always treasure of shared times together in you and John's home in Hamilton and work related events. John was our first point of contact when we arrived fresh from the islands of Fiji. Thank you John for the support you gave us to settle in. Sue, there are no words to express comfort at this sad time, but may the beautiful time you and John had together and your family you created together hold you strong. Thank you for sharing his farewell. All our love to you and the family Sue. RIP John. Lot of respect for you💕

Dear Sue and family, Again our sincere condolences, we were so saddened about the news John passed away. It seems not so long ago, when we were back in NZ for a quick visit, that you were sharing the news about John's illness. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to stream John's service. This way we could attend the service and hear all the stories about John's life. It made us think back on all the memories we have with John, Sue and the family. It was a beautiful trip down to memory lane. Allthough John did leave us he will never be forgotten. Our hearts will go out to you in your time of sorrow.

To the Brookes family Its funny how life goes in full circles - years ago of our days of NPOB FC, afew years later to you living by my family but most recently your son marrying my partners neice and it was THEN we finally got to catch up, 35 years later! I am amongst so many with nothing but great memories and funny stories. John, I was saddened to hear of your battle. And to your lovely family, I'm so sad for your huge loss. He was definetly one of the good guys. kindest regards,

Dear Sue, Kieran, Abby, Scott and Kate. Our thoughts are with you and the rest of the family today. Thank you for sharing such great memories of John, he would be proud. Love Michael and Tamryn Hobbs

Dear Sue and family. It's been been many years since I saw John but he was a big part of my formative years being my soccer coach. He was a hard task master and I hated how he made us run up and down the terraces at Pukekura Park and around the streets of Merrilands and back up Mangorie Road hill but we enjoyed a lot of success under his watch and I have many great memories of those Old Boys days. I am so very sorry for your loss. Best wishes Jackie (nee O'Shea) xx

Wish we could have been there today to say farewell but thinking of you all and send you all our love xxx

Although we weren't able to be there with you all today in person, we feel honoured to have been able to take this time to celebrate the wonderful life of a truly amazing man. John will be so terribly missed, but our lives will continue to be richer for having had the privilege of knowing him. We both love you all so very much x

To Sue, Keiran, Abby, Scott & Kate. Our heartfelt sorrow at the passing of John/Dad. Our thoughts are with you all, knowing that memories are forever. Our love to you all. Warwick & Julie Needham

Our sincerest condolences to you Sue, Kieran, Scott & families for your loss. Thinking of you all at this time Joe & Karen Duckett

Sue, Kieran & Abby, Scott & Kate. All our thoughts, love and prayers are with you at this time ❤️

Dear Sue & family. It's over 20 years since we last saw John but he was an integral part of a memorable time in our lives when NPOB FC was at it's height. There were not many games, in those days, when he wasn't standing on the sideline when not playing or refereeing. We loved his humour and straight talking. He was an all round nice guy. We are so very sorry to hear this sad news. Sincere condolences from our family to yours. John & Debbie Hogg

Dear Sue & family it was such a short time of Johns life that we got be a part of. However it was a pleasure to meet him and some of his family. I enjoyed looking at the latest photos of his beautiful granddaughter which bought him such joy. John immediately made you smile and his cheerful mood easily warmed a room. I know you will leave a huge gap in many peoples lives. Thinking of you all at this sad time xx Bridget

I was so sorry to hear of Johns passing. Last time I saw John we were walking the Milford Track with Sue, Ngaere & Scott in 2016. It was amazing and I have very fond and treasured memories of that time. One of the standouts of the trip was when I had a leg injury on tbe 3rd day and was struggling to walk properly but John selflessly took my heavy pack, put it on top of his and hiked the rest of way to our cabins. His back must've been killing him, but he didnt say a word. I'll never forget his kindness. And of course, as we all know, Johns sense of humor never went amiss. Thinking of you Sue xx

We had so much fun working with you Brooksie over the last few years when you came to our site as our QA guy. Great memories (not so much of your terrible jokes though). Some of the comments from the guys on site: "will miss the banter with John, he loved his Fords, great bloke"; "Awesome bloke!", " will be sadly missed, i loved the banter we always had during outages. He had a great sense of humour".

"John Boy" - "Memories". so many!!! Those Taranaki Car Club Days, at the car club rooms, parties and on the tracks - we had so much fun - Bay Park not such a good memory for you but we all got home, beit the odd dents etc. You lived with us for 10 or more months in Midhirst whilst you were helping build the Stratford Power Station, you were always busy, but always laughing and having fun. Great times had by us all. Thanks for the memories, you will be greatly missed, but well remembered. Love to Sue, your boys and extended families. Vaughan & Jill Hughes

My deepest condolences to the Brookes family on Johns passing.Even though its been many years since we last saw each other (he was refereeing a football game from memory) I was shocked to hear of his passing. I have many memories of our days together in NP playing both football and cricket for NPOBs, not to mention the parties !! We were both runners and did many a run through the country roads around the back of NP even though he as always faster than me, he would pull me along ! My thoughts are with you all. Kind Regards.
