Rev. Gerald David Brooks

We are heartbroken to share that Rev. Gerald David Brooks, age 87, passed away peacefully on August 1, 2026, at Pleasant Ridge Manor. Born on October 15, 1938, in Union City, David was a true blessing to everyone who knew him.

He was a proud graduate of Union City High School and went on to attend seminary school, answering the call to serve as a pastor. He dedicated his life to sharing the word of God, leading congregations at Wrightsville Community Church and later at Faith Church of Corry. David also proudly served in the National Guard for six years, demonstrating his commitment and service to his community.

David is survived by his loving wife, Betty J. Brooks, whom he married on November 5, 2016. He also leaves behind his stepdaughter, Trina Bukousky (Jason) of Georgia, and his two stepsons, Gerald F. Albert, Jr. (Denise) of Erie and Ben Howard (Donna) of Florida. He adored his grandchildren: Kristina Albert, Gerald Albert III, Ben Howard, Jr., Olivia Howard, and Maykla Howard. He also cherished many nieces and nephews who will miss him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Gerald E. and Caroline Baker Brooks, five brothers-Kenneth, Earl, Eugene, James, and William-and two sisters, Betty and Wilabelle.
