Are Garth Brooks parents alive?
I met Garth Brooks’ parents some years ago when he came to Mesa, Arizona, to play baseball in a summer league. They were delightful people to meet. I remember his father saying I might have heard of his son, who sang but wanted to play baseball that summer. I asked him who he was and he said, “Garth Brooks”. I said to him that yes I had heard of him, he was a superstar. His dad said he wasn’t any different than the rest of his boys. We then discussed the family and it turned out I had gone to the same University as one of his boys. His mother didn’t say much other than how proud she was of her boys. I got the impression she was quite ill. I hope I am wrong but I wouldn’t be surprised if she has since passed on.
