Remembering Cordeldrick
A life held close in memory
Cordeldrick Laquinn Brooks was 27 years old when his life ended on September 22, 2015. Public records and reporting identify him as a young father from the Augusta area with ties across the region. Though the public record about Cordeldrick’s private life is limited, the facts that are available point to a person whose relationships — including his role as a father and partner — were central to his life.
Friends and community memorials shared after his death emphasize that Cordeldrick was known by family and acquaintances as “Quinn,” and that he had children who survived him. Small public remembrances posted online describe him as charming, loving, and laid-back — brief glimpses that suggest a warm presence for those who knew him. One community listing notes he attended T.W. Josey, indicating local roots and connection to the neighborhood and schools around Augusta and North Augusta.
When remembering Cordeldrick, it is important to hold to what is verifiable and to honor the reality that a real person — with relationships, responsibilities, and a life of ordinary hopes and routines — is at the center of the record. His name appears in court and news records connected to events of September 2015, and later legal proceedings about that night confirmed the date of his death. Those public records document a tragic ending but do not encompass the full worth of his life.
Cordeldrick’s surviving family and friends, and the children he fathered, remain the living testimony to his personhood. This page honors the human being behind the headlines: a son, a partner, a father, and a neighbor whose life mattered. May the memory of Cordeldrick Laquinn Brooks be kept with respect and care by those who loved him.
