Obituary

Joseph "JoJo" Brooks Jr. stricken with sudden illness met the eyes of Jesus at the tender age of 8 years old on Sunday, August 6, 2023 at Comers Children’s Memorial Hospital.

He is survived by his parents: Mr. and Mrs. Joseph "John" and Nausheen Brooks , two sisters Johnnaya and Jaida Brooks, Grandparents, Aunties, Uncles, cousins, and a host of family and friends.

Anyone that was blessed to know Jojo knew he was a one of a kind kid with a heart of gold and a giggle that ran thousands of miles. Jojo and his unconditional loving spirit will surely be missed in this world.

A memorial service is arranged for Sunday, August 20th at Gardner Funeral Home , with a repass reception to follow.

All are welcome to attend and celebrate Jojos life.

Flowers and condolences may be sent to the Brooks family at 6628 South Campbell Chicago IL 60629
