Michael L. Brooks

Michael L. Brooks Sr., 69, of Ohioville, passed away on November 5, 2026, after a brief illness at UPMC McCandless.

Born on November 2, 1957, in Rochester, he was the son of the late John and Josephine Brooks. An avid hunter and outdoorsman, Michael spent much of his free time enjoying the outdoors and pursuing the activities he loved. He found great joy in spending time at his camp. Mechanically inclined and naturally handy, he worked as a mechanic by trade but was truly a “Jack of all Trades.” He was always willing to lend his knowledge, skills, and a helping hand wherever needed, especially when it came to his family’s cars. Michael was also a proud member of the Fryburg Sportsman Club and the Vowinckel Hunting Club.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his son, Michael N. Brooks; his daughter, Tamara Brooks; and his sister, Launa Wetzel.

Michael will be deeply missed by his wife of nearly 50 years, Pamela Brooks; brothers, John W. Brooks Jr., Stephen (Anna) Brooks, Kenneth (Wendy) Brooks; sister, Rebecca (Marty) White; daughter-in-law, Ashley Brooks; grandchildren, Brandon (Carrie Melendez) Brooks, Brittney Marsh, Patrick Marsh, Michael Brooks Jr., and Lukas Brooks; and his great grandson, Kane Brooks; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Professional arrangements have been entrusted to the Noll Funeral Home, Inc., 333 Third St., Beaver.

Memorial contributions can be made in Michael’s name to the American Heart Association.
