Dennis Paul Cook passed away on January 1, 2026, at the age of 64. He was born on December 5, 1961, to Patrick and Edith Cook.

Dennis grew up as part of a large family and was one of seven siblings. He had five brothers and one sister, who predeceased him. Family was a constant and defining part of his life, shaping who he was and the relationships he valued most.

Dennis attended Bishop O'Connell High School, where he was a proud member of the Class of 1980. He remained deeply connected to his classmates over the years, and his pride in O'Connell and his class was something he spoke about often.

Dennis was the father of three sons, of whom he was very proud. He is survived by his eldest son, Michael Cook, and his wife, Keri Cook, along with their daughters, Kensley (14) and Kennedy (10). He is also survived by his son Matthew Cook and his wife, Kristen Cook, and their sons, Oliver (5) and Hudson (3). Dennis is further survived by his youngest son, Marcus Cook, and his wife, Libby Cook.

Dennis will be remembered for his love of family and the role he played in the lives of those closest to him. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.
