Obituary

Robert Marvin Brooks, a beloved husband, brother, father, and grandfather, passed away on May 9th,2024 in Fairfax, Virginia. He was born August 23,1949 in Renton Washington to the late Robert and Florence Brooks. He is survived by his brother Timothy, sister Marianne, wife Brenda, sons Brent and Bobby, and grandchildren Charity, Lucy, and Brie. Robert was a man of great passion and dedication who touched the lives of many people with his kindness and wisdom.

Robert’s legacy will be remembered for generations to come. He was a devoted husband to Brenda; they were married for 45 years and had two sons. His sons Brent and Bobby were his pride and joy; he instilled in them values of hard work, compassion, and integrity that they carry with them today.

As a grandfather to Charity, Lucy, and Brie - Robert cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren. Their laughter brought him immeasurable joy during his final years.

Professionally known for his expertise in government relations and politics; Robert served as Chief of Staff to U.S. Representative Norm Dicks before founding Evergreen Associates, a government relations and constituent representation firm in Washington, D.C. For over forty years he provided government affairs council to numerous clients in areas such as education, the environment, health care, biotechnology, transportation, trade, and Native American issues.

Beyond politics lay Robert’s other passions: The music of the Rolling Stones filled his home with rhythm while baseball games provided endless entertainment during summer evenings. An avid fan of IndyCar racing - he marveled at the speed and precision displayed by the drivers on the track.

His absence leaves behind an irreplaceable void but also countless memories that will forever live on in our hearts. Rest In Peace dear friend - your spirit will continue guiding us through life's journey until we meet again someday.
