Rashford Samuel Brooks (7 Nov 1945 - 21 Sep 2023)

I didn't know you but my thoughts are with June and your son Richard and his family. from Lorna Bowes

I remember Richard... He loved to have a chat at any time... I do not know how his family must be feeling his loss but unfortunately I know too, as many of you, how painful are these circumstances... I remember to have shared with Richard this hope which stills helps me to see the future with hope and strength... I wish it may help his family too:

'The Bible foretells a time in the near future when no one will be sick. Under the rule of his Kingdom, God will cure all health problems. (Isaiah 33:24; 35:5, 6) He will do away with suffering, pain, and death. (Revelation 21:4) And he will bring back to life those who have died so that they can enjoy good health here on earth under perfect conditions.—Psalm 37:29; Acts 24:15.'

My best and sincere wishes for his family and friends...

Jonatan 💐

Uncle Rashford
Your laughter, jokes and debates will be missed greatly. Family reunions won't be the same without you, but may your lit continue to shine in our hearts. RIP ❤️

Uncle Rashford, or as I liked to call you care bear.
Rest in peaceful paradise ♥️

God bless Mr Richard Brooks family and friends with strength to bear his loss and workers of Guy & St Thomas Hospital for their care .

Richard I have many lovely memories of you and will never forget your big smile and cheeky laugh. You are my fellow Scorpio and I loved seeing you in the mornings picking the girls up from school and dropping them home again. Your legacy will continue through your beautiful granddaughters Ellie and Bethany and they will make you so proud. You are now the brightest star in the sky and we will remember you forever . Lots of Love Ann-Marie, Darron, Reiss and Lexie xx xx

I am going to miss our F1 and football conversations. It has been lovely being being a part of your life for all the years we have known you and you will be missed by everyone.

In loving memory of Richard Brooks, we will miss your smiling face and cheeky laugh xx

Prior to my leaving the museum in late 2020, Richard and I would always catch up either at the key pound or the contractors desk. Every morning, he would spend few minutes with me at either location before he goes off to his duty post. Since my leaving the museum, we kept in touch on a weekly basis. He kept me up to date with his health challenges. He cherished our phone chats as much as I did. I was devastated to learn of his passing. I will definitely miss our regular phone chats. Rest peacefully Richard.

R.I.P Uncle Rashford!🙏🏾 Love Karen & Monét xxxx

We'll miss Richard's cheeky demeanor as the gatekeeper to exhibition spaces while we put up countless shows at the British Museum. Always quick to shame those who messed up his security pass system, at the same time he happily brought in homegrown produce to share.

Big Rich, you were one of life’s good guys. You will be missed by everyone and I will definitely miss our chats on the rights and wrongs of Spurs.

Rest in peace
Love Andy, Lisa, Matthew & Sophie x x

Rashford and I were quite close as brothers. We spoke every week on the phone, and our topic always included football and cars, (Spurs) his team and of course my team ( Man United) and when he came up to Brum we always would meet up. I will miss our Sunday morning chats so Rest in Peace Big Brother, until we meet again. 🙏 Johnny 💙
