**Obituary for Kenneth Ray Cook Sr.**

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kenneth Ray Cook Sr., who left us on February 27, 2025, at the age of 70. Born on January 8, 1955, in Salt Lake City, UT, Ken made his home in Lyman, WY, where he spent his days as a dedicated mechanic, always ready to lend a hand to those in need.

Ken was a true outdoors man at heart. He found joy in the little things-like rummaging through the local junkyard, camping under the stars, and fishing in the serene waters nearby. He had a special knack for collecting firewood up in the mountains, ensuring there was always plenty for those chilly nights around the campfire.

His love for motorcycles was well known to friends and family, and he enjoyed taking long rides, feeling the wind in his hair and the freedom of the open road. He leaves behind his beloved sister, Judy Cook, and his cherished daughter, Jessica Cook, who will forever carry his spirit and memories in their hearts.

Funeral services will take place on a later date, where family and friends will gather to celebrate Ken's life and share stories that made us laugh, cry, and remember the incredible man who touched our lives. Please join us as we honor his memory and bid farewell to a truly special soul. Details regarding the time and location will be shared soon.

Kenneth was preceded in death by: parents Thomas Cook and Irene Cook; daughter Melissa Niccum; son Kenneth Cook, Jr.; brother Wayne Cook and sister June Young.
