Glenn Brooks

Glenn Allen Brooks, 92, of Russellville, Arkansas, passed away Friday, August 7, 2026, at St. Mary's Regional Medical Center in Russellville.

Born February 21, 1934, in Houston, Texas, he was the son of Tom and Ollie Mackey Brooks. Glenn devoted his professional life to education, serving as a teacher and making a lasting impact on countless students throughout his career.

Above all, Glenn was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, and faithful friend. His greatest joy was the time he spent with his family, and he treasured every opportunity to share life's moments with those he loved. A longtime member of First United Methodist Church, Glenn's faith was an important part of his life and guided him in his relationships with others.

Glenn found happiness in life's simple pleasures. He loved singing, enjoyed spending peaceful days fishing, and was a loyal St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Eleanor Ruth Porter Brooks; his parents; and his brother, Monte Brooks.

He is survived by two sons, Greg Brooks and Thomas Brooks and wife, Jennifer; six cherished grandchildren, Ben Osborn, Gracie Brooks, Thomas Aidan Brooks, Gregory Jackson Brooks, Isabella Brooks, and Eleanora Brooks; one brother, Lynell Brooks and wife, Ramona; along with extended family members and many friends who will remember him with love and gratitude.

A memorial service will be announced at a later date. A private committal service will be held in the Chapel of Light at the J. Herman Humphrey Dignity Cremation Center under the direction of Humphrey Funeral Service. The online obituary and guestbook are available at www.humphreyfuneral.com.
