Daniel Joseph Brooks

In Loving Memory of Dan Brooks

Dan Brooks, 64, rode into this world with a spark in his soul and a song in his heart, and on October 27, 2025, he took his final ride home. Those who knew Dan will remember the rhythm he brought to life—steady, bold, and unmistakably his own.

Dan lived loudly, laughed easily, and loved deeply. He had an outgoing spirit that drew people in, whether he was talking about the growl of a fast car, the freedom of a motorcycle under an open sky, or the simple joy of lighting up and kicking back. He lived life like his favorite track—upbeat, unapologetic, and played at full volume.

Four wheels carried his body, but two wheels carried his soul.

Three years ago, Dan’s life found a new melody when he met the love of his life, Kathleen Watts. Together they created unforgettable memories—rides, laughter, sunsets, and moments that felt like music.

Dan is survived by his loving mother, Marlene Stone; his father, JP; his sister, Debbie Lopez; his brother-in-law, Michael Lopez; and his nephew, Brandon Lopez—all of whom will forever carry his song in their hearts.

To his family and friends, Dan was the soundtrack to countless good moments—long rides, loud engines, big laughs, and the kind of stories you replay again and again. His spirit echoes on in every open road, every powerful engine, and every song that brings back the feeling of freedom.

Though his final note has played, Dan’s music lives on in the hearts of all who knew him.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring, when the weather, the open roads, and the music all feel just a little more like Dan.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever Dan.
