Mark Gordon Brooks, age 67, passed away on July 21, 2024, at his home in Clinton, TN.

Born on May 1, 1957, Gordon grew up in Clinton, TN and graduated from Clinton High School. He went on to receive vocational training in welding and completed college courses toward a business degree. He spent many years as a welder in profession, but probably enjoyed the job most when he was welding a part for a boat or a motorcycle – either for himself or especially for one of his friends. Fishing was one of his most beloved past-times and hardly a day passed that he didn't find time to cast a line, even if it was just by himself on the bank of the culvert in South Clinton. Later in life he rediscovered a childhood interest in motorcycles and enjoyed traveling across the country on his Valkyrie, meeting so many friends along the way. He was a devoted and selfless father and grandfather, who loved his family and friends deeply, and would do anything for a friend in need. Gordon never stopped learning new things and could fix almost anything.

He was preceded in death by his father, Mark Edwin Brooks, and mother Flora Louise (Gault) Brooks.

Gordon will be dearly missed by his daughter, Mary Amber Dunn, son-in-law, Daniel Dunn, grandsons, Samuel and Peter Dunn, and sister, Marilyn Brooks; along with countless fishing buddies, fellow Valkyrie riders, and many dear friends who became family.

A receiving of friends will be held on Friday, July 26, 2024, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., with a graveside service immediately following, at Woodhaven Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens, 160 Edgemoor Rd, Powell, TN 37849.
