Kevin Cooke Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Kevin enjoyed sports and relaxing on the beach. He was always up for an adventure-from trying a new restaurant to indoor skydiving. Kevin approached life with constant curiosity and joy. His signature drink was Grey Goose on the rocks, and as he always liked to say, "throw a couple olives on top."
Kevin was preceded in death by his parents, Harold (2007) and Elaine (2024). He was the cherished father of Erin and Emma Cooke. He is also survived by a sister, Laurie Langston, and many nieces and nephews.
