Gary succumbed to his injuries trying to save his workshop. The fire beat him; he couldn’t beat it. He was so worried about his stuff. He is with the Lord now. No more suffering.
Survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Tina, sons Nathanael (Chantal) Michael (grandson), Matthew (Rochelle), Justin and two brothers Lloyd (Christal) and Dale.
Predeceased by two younger brothers, dad and mom and infant son Johnathon.
Gary moved to BC with his family in 1972 from Manitoba and helped his dad for a few years in their second hand store. He then went back to Winnipeg, came back Christmas 1975, got hired at North Wood Mill in Ok Falls (changed to Weyerhauser) in January 1976 and came home sick from work in 2004. Gary met his future wife Tian in May in 1976 and they were married in February 1980 before purchasing his parents property in 1983. Gary was well known for his love of old cars, especially his 1959 Chevrolets. Gary’s passion was his family, then his cars and model cars. Gary always tried to help people when they were in need. Gary tried to listen to that still voice that said it is okay.
Gary will be deeply missed by his family and his many many friends.
We offer our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Gary Cook July 25 1951
December 15 2022 and hope that their memory may be a source of comfort during this difficult time. Your thoughts and kind words are greatly appreciated.
