********************To all my GTS friends, Thank you to you all for the support i have recieved over
the past 12 months since i set up Martins site. It has helped me to cope a little bit better without
the love of my life being around anymore.. Love sent to you all as always. ********************
Martin Andrew Brooks was born on 9th October 1960. He was taken from us on 25th July 2007 at the
age of 46. He left behind his wife Tracey, children Andrew, Joanne, Daniel, Michelle and Simon and
his little dog Jack. He has three grandchildren Mya (daughter of Jo) Marshall and Chelsea-Leigh
(children of Dan) His mum Ruth lives in Australia as does his sister Alison and her daughter Els.
His dad Mick lives in Maidstone with his wife Hazel. His brother Vincent lives in Stockport with his
wife Gail and two daughters Samantha and Nichola.
Martin was diagnosed in March 2007 with Glioblastoma multiforme. This is a grade four brain tumor
which is agressive. I thought Martin was invincible and would live til he was at least in his
nineties. He was never ill and never took time off work. So this was a complete shock to all of us.
Especially when I looked up what he had on the Internet and all the sites say life expectancy
without treatment is 3 months and with treatment early enough most live for six to twelve months and
a rare few will live up to 2 years. Nobody has lived for more than 2 years with this type of Brain
Tumor. We knew that by the time they had decided what sort of tumor he had got there was little
chance of him living for six months. He was already without movement to the right side of his body.
The tumor had paralised him quite quickly
Martin was given palliative radio therapy and died 5 months after his first symptom appeared.
Martin was 6ft 2 tall with blue/grey eyes and was very much the gentle giant. His hobbies were his
computers and his motorbikes and his landrovers. He was a HGV driver and worked for lots of
different companies. The last one of which was Pepsico driving Walkers Crisp lorries. He drove their
lorries for the past five years. When I first started seeing Martin he was a Taxi driver for Jetline
taxis. He always liked to drive and moving up to lorries seemed the natural thing for him. He was a
jack of all trades who would fix anything for anyone. Most of his mates had called on him at least
once to help them fix something or other. He loved his motorbikes and his Suzuki Bandit was his
favourite. He rode his motorbikes in all weathers and use to laugh at some of his mates who put
their bikes away for the winter. He would call them 'the fair weather bikers'. He enjoyed his
biking hols to Spain with other biker buds. He loved playing in the mud on the weekend in his landy
along with other landy owners and would always say the muddier the better.
Martin loved camping and aswell as his trips to Spain with friends on their motorbikes (most of them
were camping trips), he would take the family on camping trips to anywhere that took his fancy.
Cornwall was a popular one as well as Hunstanton. We as a family have decided to do one family
camping trip a year in honour of Martin.
We had so many plans for the future and was going to do lots of travelling around the world to see
all the things we dreamt of once our youngest had turned 18. Sadly Martin died when Simon was 17 and
a half. I will do some of the travelling we dreamt of. Maybe Simon will join me on some of them.
Martin is very much loved and missed by all his family and his friends.
I wrote this for you Martin, hope you like it.
I have a husband who I love so dear
I wish with all my heart that he was still here
I take him fresh flowers to the place where he lay
and tell him I love him more each and every day
He is the father of 5 kids who we love
he is watching them from his new home above
his grandkids look up and blow him a kiss
he is now an angel who we all love and miss
He is up in heaven a peaceful place
my husband the angel with a smiling face
waiting for me to knock on heavens door
there i will be with my angel for ever more
Please light a candle or leave a tribute if you are passing by.
Anybody wishing to add pictures to Martins gallery is more than welcome.

Birthdays Do Not End with Death
Birthdays do not end with death,
But last as long as love,
A maelstrom of memories
That grace and honor move.
And so we celebrate your day
By visiting your grave,
A place that you have left long since,
But is all that we have.
Dear spirit, come and join us here,
Your loved ones by your stone!
Come sweep across the barrier
To claim us as your own!
Happy birthday, dearest one!
Oh, happy, happy day!
Not even the most bitter night
Can take this joy away!

On the Day You Died
The world got colder on the day you died
Everything around was drab and dull
You brought such warmth to the world around
Your soul was kind and rare and beautiful.
My world just stopped on the day you died
I can't fathom life without you here
Why is it fate can bring bonds so deep,
And then fate can make life disappear?
I'll always remember the day you died
And that raw aching hole- you were gone
Time dulled the pain and I longed for it back
It seemed a betrayal to move on.
I wasn't prepared for the day you died
Your life slipped away much too soon
And even as time lets me laugh once again
A piece of my heart went with you.
