He graduated from Decatur High School in 2006 and worked as an installer of storm shelters. He enjoyed playing paintball on a professional level, which is where he got his nickname "Pandaman" because of his panda beanie he wore in all of the tournaments along with his bright pink and green outfits.

Left behind to cherish his memory are his parents; 1 sister, Melissa Stastny and husband Craig of Decatur; 2 brothers, William Brooks and wife Jessica of Arthur City, and Joshua Brooks and wife Jennifer of Decatur; grandmother, Annie Mae Brooks of Decatur; 9 nieces and nephews, Corbin and Cooper Stastny, Dylon, Elayna, Micah, Mackenzie, Kelton, Analee, and Jaxen Brooks; and a host of friends.
