Cook, age 55, of Donalsonville, GA, formerly of Napoleon, MI, peacefully left his earthly body to be with the Lord and receive his new perfect heavenly body on February 18, 2017 after fighting a long hard battle with a complicated medical history.

Education was extremely important to him. He always said, “An education and knowledge was something that could never be taken from you.” He received his Bachelor of Arts Degree with his Major in Management and Organizational Development from Spring Arbor University, MI, and had put significant work in to his Masters Degree. He was a very giving man, few people knew that he wrote numerous grants through the years that benefited many people and organizations here in Georgia and in Michigan. He was an entrepreneur at heart and always had a new idea he was working on.
