In Memory of
KenDorian Brooks
May 29, 1999 - June 4, 2026
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the love, support, and condolences extended to us during this difficult time. Your kind words, gestures, and presence have provided us with comfort and strength. Our family asks that all future tributes or donations be made on this website CelebratingU.org in memory of KenDorian Brooks or click our Givelify Link for a donation with receipt. KEND was the type of person that would stand in the gap for so many people in need. His compassion for others and active servitude made him so lovable. We challenge you to put this attribute to action in your family, church, or community TODAY!
This page was created in memory of KenDorian "Ken-D" Brooks our loving son, father, nephew, cousin, grandson, and friend. His passing leaves a profound emptiness in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him. May his memory be a source of lasting peace to everyone that knew him. If you need a safe space to share a photo or write a tribute, please feel free to do so by clicking the CONTACT tab.
Your donation will help us push gun prevention-focused activities with children and teens. The foundation will work to prevent gun violence through mentoring, education and community outreach goods. With your support we can help prevent other families from going through the same pain and enduring one of the hardest days of our lives. Preventing gun violence starts with adults having positive, honest conversations with our youth and even implementing more accountabilty factors for people on probation.
THE FACTS: According to the CDC, 1,212 people died from gun-related injuries in Alabama in 2024. National Ranking: Alabama has the 4th highest firearm death rate in the United States.
He will forever be missed. . .

As we sit here and think of our little bro, we look back and cherish every moment. You were our younger and better half, our twin. We can always remember you wanting to follow and go with us everywhere, just to experience what we experienced. We watched you grow up to become the young man we know. You always told us that you wanted to able to do anything and everything. You accomplished that. You became the person that everyone in the family could call when we needed something fixed or just to spend time. You always made time for family. Every memory we have of you will not be forgotten, and will continue to live through us and the family. You were a loving son and cousin, and an even better father. We promise to make sure Dorian will hear nothing but great things about his father and how he cared and helped anyone who truly needed help. You were truly more like our brother and we will forever miss you. We love you – Lemarcus & Derion

A son, a father, and family that was Kend to the end. Kendorian had a heart of gold he was a loving and caring person. He was a listening ear when I needed, he was an active father and an amazing one at that. To see him and his son together would bring me joy. I love that he was a levelheaded person always kept his composure. I'm grateful for all the memories we made as cousins. I say this to say thank you for being one of the best, you will truly be missed. I love you brother. Until we meet again. - Sharmeria

Gone to soon. As we think of you, speaking your name in silence, all that we have left is the picture of you that has been frozen in time of your warm smile forever embedded in our memory. We were not prepared for you to leave us, but your presence will always be that bright light of joy. We never realized that someday it would come to an end so soon. You were a smart young man with a gifted mind and hands who could fix anything. Although you are no longer with us you left with us a precious gift in Dorian. We will forever cherish each and every memory. Now that God has called you home for you to rest. We will always hold your memory in our hearts eternally. Until we meet again, you are not forgotten and you will remain in our hearts forever. - Wendy, Sandy, & Joe

My Daddy, is up in Heaven on high,
I look for him up in the sky.
I miss the way we used to play,
And wish you didn't go away.
They tell me you are in the stars,
Watching over me and all my cars.
I try to be a brave big boy,
And hold on tight to every toy.
I know you hear me when I pray,
And love me more with each new day.
I'll keep your hugs deep in my heart,
Until the day we shall never part. - Dorian
Though your perfect smile is gone forever,
And your working hands I cannot touch,
Still I have so many memories,
Of my baby I still love so much.
Your love remains my guiding light,
Though I still shed tears for you every night,
Eventhough to rest your body may lay,
In my heart you will ALWAYS STAY.
I LOVE YOU FOREVER! - MOMMA
