December 15, 1980 - June 10, 2019
Jimmy Dale Brooks, age 38 and a resident of Thomas, died early Monday morning June 10, 2019 following an ATV accident, doing what he loved, which was spending time in the fox pen with his dogs and friends. Jimmy Dale loved his dogs and had them for any type of hunting including fox hounds, coon hounds, deer hounds and many beagles. His favorite place to be was in the woods when “they got rollin” on the chase. Jimmy also had hundreds of chickens and many other farm animals.

Jimmy always had a kind heart and cared for those in need during tough times or during a stay in the hospital.
