BRYCE G. COOK

Mr. Cook was one of the greatest men I have ever known. He helped instill in me the value of integrity, of keeping my head up, of striving for the best. He went above and beyond to all of those who were fortunate enough to have come across his path. The world will shine a little less brightly without him though his amazing legacy will continue on.
He was truly one of the greatest individuals I have yet to ever meet.

Please accept my sincerest condolences.

Bryce was a great man and a wonderful mentor for me as a young coach starting out as a wrestling coach. He touched many young people's lives in a positive way and helped them on and off the wrestling mat.
Thanks Bryce for the legacy that you leave behind for all of us that benefitted from your involvement in our lives. May we pass on through our interactions and positive influence another generation to follow in your huge footsteps.
Go Cougs!

Bryce loved Donna, his children, grandchildren, his friends and the lord. His formula for life was simple; do your best every day, be consistent, work hard and accept the results. I was honored to be called his friend.

Coach Cook. Too many years have gone by since you began your HS coaching career. I was among that 1st group of inexperienced and dumb sophomores that you molded into tough, skilled and confident competitors. Your knowledge, dedication and "hands on" teaching style shaped young men's lives - way beyond the "mats." The wrestler mentality that you instilled and modeled has had a profound impact on my own life. THANK YOU!

Coach Cook taught me how to believe in myself and how to turn that belief into action. This has served me all of my life. He was also just exactly the wholesome, passionate and enthusiastic role model that I hope to be myself. Coach, thanks for all that you gave to me and to so many others along the way. (Woodway, '72)

Mr Cook was my only High School Sports Coach, 2 yrs of Wrestling. He was always supportive in his Wrestlers reaching for Big Dreams or Big Goals. He kept my Wins & Losses, positive for a striving future. The Memories he left we me were always to reach high, in an Honest way. The skills he taught me for defense and offense kept me off the Pinned list, never pinned, during our 2 yrs of the Sport, okay, only in practice, never in a school match. He was the PIN in our practices, and a few other...

BRYCE AND DONNA: THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT AND BEYOND.
MY PRAYER: JESUS, REMEMBER BRYCE WHEN YOU COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM.

I am sorry for your loss. Bryce was a good man and someone I looked up to as a young impressionable high school student. Even though he wasn't my wrestling coach he would walk over and give me encouragement during wrestling tournaments. It always made me feel better that someone of his importance knew my name and cared how I did. I always appreciated that and try to pass that down to others as he taught me. Thank you Mr. Cook
