JEFFREY BROOKS
On Thursday March 23, 2021 Jeffrey Brooks, loving father and husband, passed away at the age of 68, surrounded by family, while enjoying the music of Brian Eno. Jeffrey was a native Washingtonian; he was born on August 27, 1952 to Kenneth and Amy Brooks. Jeffrey graduated from Yorktown High School in 1972. He served in the US Coast Guard and went on to become a highly respected computer programmer who recently retired from AV3. He was fond of an eclectic array of music and was well known for recording new wave musicians in the early 1980s at the 9:30 Club. His recordings are being donated to the DC Punk Archive, Martin Luther King, Jr Library, which will create the Jeffrey Brooks Collection. Jeffrey was also an avid gardener, had his own weather station, loved using his Leica IIIF camera, and most importantly was a loving father and husband. Jeffrey was preceded in death by his father Kenneth, and his mother Amy. He is survived by his wife Rachel (nee Singer), his two daughters, Annie Marsteller (Andrew) and Louise, his grandson Parker, his sisters Linda Crandall (Neil), Laura Bowden, and his brother Wilson. A memorial service will be held at a later date. As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be made to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
