STEVEN BROOKS
Steven Lee Brooks, lifelong Kansan, car show regular, animal lover, and master of sarcasm, passed away Thursday, April 17, 2025, in Liberal, the town he proudly called home for most of his life. He had just celebrated his 78th birthday April 14, a milestone he would’ve joked was “longer than I ever thought I’d live.”
Born in Salina in 1947, Steve built a life centered around family, old ugly cars, and helping others. For 50 years, he practiced law, not for the spotlight, but because he had a gift for showing up when people needed help. Friends, family, and neighbors knew they could count on him, whether it was legal advice or just someone in their corner.
