Jay Cook Obituary
It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Jay L. Cook Jr. Also known as Beaver to most. Beaver, a native of Lynchburg, VA. Moved to Florida at the age of 17 with his family where he began his career as a front end loader operator until he retired in 2023 from Martin Marietta Agg.
Beaver was known for his outgoing personality and caring spirit. He was filled with lots of love and laughter as he knew no strangers. He liked taking trips to Walmart, his favorite store. He liked cooking and trying new recipes and watching Heartland on Netflix.
