Albert Tookes Sr. at the age of 96 passed away on June 6, 2022, at the Houston County Medical. Albert was born April 8, 1926, in Oglethorpe, Georgia (known as the Cut Off) to the late Pearl Haugabrooks Tookes and Lonnie Tookes. He attended grade school in Oglethorpe, Georgia. 

During his 66 years of marriage from his first wife, they birthed eight children. Albert Sr. married Juliet Weaver on September 7, 2013 and remained married until the day of his death. 

While serving in the military he learned to become a great cook and diesel mechanic. His passion was cooking for large gatherings. In 1958, Albert was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in New York City Yankee Stadium and remained a faithful servant of Jehovah for 64 years. Albert dedicated his entire life learning and teaching about Jehovah and the many promises stated in Bible Revelation 21:3-4. The morning of June 5th he listened in on a Zoom meeting; that’s a regular public Christian meeting attended in person at Kingdom Halls or on Zoom.

 He leaves to a legacy of lots of love and tons of fond memories to his beloved family members including his wife Juliet Tookes, Americus, Georgia; children, Pearlie (John) Robinson, St. Petersburg, Florida, JoAnn (McNeill) Hodges, Montezuma, Georgia, Albert Tookes, Perry, Georgia, Jesse Tookes, Lakeland, Florida, Melvin (Wilma) Tookes, Curtis (Johnnie Mae) Tookes, Ouida (Harris) Jefferson, all of Oglethorpe, Georgia, Ciera (Arthur) Raven, Americus, Georgia and Chardée Rutledge, Detroit, Michigan; 19 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren, 11 great great grandchildren, a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Such a fine example.. Bro. Tookes made sure you remembered him by means of a good meal, firm handshake and an encouraging word which many occasions was attracted to Jehovah's word the Bible which we all were able to draw comfort from.. being around him you felt more like family.. may Jehovah continue to be with the family and our spiritual brothers and sisters who share this loss with you.. let's all remember soon very soon we will see all of our faithful friends and loved ones again in perfect health.. let's just continue to run with endurance in this race of life to the finish.

Much love to the family

Love

Deastrice (Dee Dee) Whitehead and Family
