Thomas Allen “Tom” Brotherton, 25, of Dayton, passed away on November 5, 2019.

He was born on April 7, 1994 to Michael Brotherton and Ginger (Lee) Kooser in Fayetteville, NC.

Tom was a talented Artist, fun-loving, and loyal husband, father, brother, and son.

We will remember his quick-wit, creativity, charm, silliness, adventurous spirit, curiosity, devotion, love of family, and his fierce warrior strength and brute.

He attended Recovery Groups in Montgomery and Greene Counties.

Tom is survived by his loving Daughter, Aurora Brotherton; Parents, Ginger Kooser and Michael (Maggie) Brotherton; Brothers, Steven Brotherton and Anthony Kooser; and many other loving family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his Wife, Lillie Mitchell Brotherton; Daughter, Rosaleah Brotherton; Grandparents, Garnett & Betty Lee, and Donald & Doris Brotherton; and Step-father, Brian Keith Kooser.

Arrangements in the care of Newcomer North Chapel.

He was a person flawed, tormented, and full of love like us all. Please seek help for drug problems if you struggle. Please help those who struggle if you do not. Please never give up on anyone, love one another.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Tom's memory can be made to TCN Behavioral Health and/or his daughter's future (see Ginger Kooser "Gammy" for details).
