Cameron Brooks, longtime Democratic Party organizer, candidate, has died
Democratic Party organizer, leader and Knoxville City Council candidate Cameron Brooks has died of complications related to his treatment for cancer, Knox News has learned.
Brooks previously served as the chairman of the Knox County Democratic Party and served as a Knox County election commissioner. In mid-August, he announced he had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. While his campaigning slowed, he remained on the ballot, facing incumbent councilperson Lynne Fugate and fellow challenger Darin Worsham.
Brooks, 45, worked as a real estate agent, cared deeply about local elections and was an avid animal advocate.
"Cameron crossed the Rainbow Bridge shortly before 1:00 a.m. to round up our beloved 4-leggers before continuing on," Brooks' husband Wes Knott wrote on Facebook.
