Frank J. Brooks
West Boylston – Frank J. Brooks, 59, died at home on Thursday, June 25, 2020 in his sleep after recently getting diagnosed with cancer. He was born on October 29, 1960, the son of Raymond and Jeanette (Batchelder) Brooks.
He was a truck driver who worked hard and played hard. He became instant friends with all those he met, bringing much joy and laughter. He woke up every morning smiling. He enjoyed golf, bowling, and old cars.
He is leaving behind Mary, his wife of 27 years, and 3 sons and daughters-in law, Derrick and Corinne Genova of Woburn, MA, Paul and Heather Genova of Attleboro, MA, and Robert Ryan of Wareham, MA. He also is survived by brothers and sisters-in-law, Leroy and Darlene of Herman, ME, Warren and Debbie of Leonardtown, MD, Berta Brooks, of Island Falls, ME, and Sue Brooks of Sherman Mills, ME. He leaves so many more behind: 3 beautiful grandchildren, Gavin, Isla, and Jack, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents and 3 brothers, Raymond, Roderick, and Danny.
A celebration of life will occur at a later date and he will eventually rest in peace in his home of Island Falls, ME with his parents and brothers. In lieu of flowers, contributions to Dana-Farber would be appreciated.

Frank was a hard working man and a dad to Bobby .
We loved this young man who visited us real often when we lived in Island Falls in the 70’s but made sure he visited us when he came home. He always went away with a bag full of deer meat. We will miss his visits and miss him. Kerry and Florence Hardy
This is so heart breaking. I grew up on the same street with him. He was younger, came from a great family, was happy and mischievous like boys should be. He was a great person and will be missed by many. With deepest sympathy.

I am saddened to hear this news. He was part of the Station Street neighborhood in Island Falls and was always joking . I had not seen him in years but heard a story that he was going to be visiting Island Falls and had a request for cookies from a classmates mom. She was more than happy to comply!! She told the story with a big smile on her face…just one instance where Frankie brought JOY! He will always be Frankie to me.
