Brooks William Matthews
Brooks William Matthews was only 4 months old when he passed away on January 26, 2015 in Houston, TX. He was born on September 4, 2014 in Houston, TX. Brooks was a beautiful baby boy who left us early in life, and even though he may have only been 4 months old, he has touched the lives of many who knew him.
Brooks was the happiest baby that any of us knew. He was just starting to play peek-a-boo and loved eating rice cereal, and he always wanted to sit up and participate in the action. He loved to do Face Time with his long-distance relatives and looked forward to basketball games with his daddy and mommy.
Although he was too young to do it here on Earth, we know that his first words and first steps will be celebrated in Heaven.
He leaves behind to cherish his memory: his parents, Angela Plum and Alton Matthews Jr.; sister, Celeste Sofia Matthews and brother, Isaiah Alexander Campbell; grandparents: Leslie and Larry Monson, Greg Plum, Rev. Alton and Bevylen Matthews Sr.; great grandparents: Duane and Brenda Hanson, Carol Plum- Freese, William Henry Matthews; Aunts and Uncles: Justin (Lauren) Plum, Dre’langala (Maurice) Edwards, Cory Matthews, Jason Matthews, Kristy Matthews and a host of cousins and other relatives.
Visitation will be held on Friday, January 30, 2015 from 5 pm to 8 pm at Crowder Funeral Home. Funeral service will begin on Saturday, January 31, 2015 at 10 am, with Pastor Johnny Brooks Sr. to be officiating, at Crowder Funeral Home, 2422 Broadway, Pearland, TX 77581. Interment to follow at Houston Memorial Gardens.

Our hearts hurt for you with the loss of your beautiful baby boy Brooks. Through Lauren and Justin and all of your photos of Brooks on Facebook, we knew how happy you were with Baby Brooks. He was taken from you much too early.
We know that no words can ease your pain at this time, but please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Words will not ease the pain of your loss. Hold tightly to your memories for what comfort they will bring. Lean on others for strength when needed and always remember others care. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
May happy memories and the Bible’s promise at Acts 24:15 “there is going to be a resurrection” provide comfort and sustain your family during this most difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Please remember that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit He saves” (Psalms 34:18). Turn to Him in prayer and He will give you the strength and provide you with peace-“Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6,7)
To Alton Jr. and Angela,
May God continue to strengthen you during your time of need and just know that He does not make mistakes. Baby Brooks is rejoincing in heaven and smiling down on us.
Love Aunt Winnie
Rest In Peace Little Angel
My husband and I along with our church family are praying for you daily. Please know that there are tons of people who love you and support you.
Angie,
We grieve for you and Alton, and the rest of the family, too. May God comfort you with his love for you. We will never understand the why of Brooks’ passing so young.
Wish we could have been with you in Texas; please understand our absence.
Love, Aunt Debi and Uncle Harlan and family
I don’t know you or you me but my heart was touched. Your children should never leave before their parent. Being a parent myself of a child left too soon, I understand. May God Bless!
I happened to be seaching the Internet for something completely unrelated and came across the picture of your beautiful Brooks. Words cannot express my sadness for you your families loss. May God bless and strengthen you through these trying times. His memory will live on in you. Cherish the brief time you had with an angel here on earth and know that he know watches over you with the same love you felt looking down at him.
I’m sorry
