He also had a creative side, making collages and finding joy in simple pleasures like riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle and going fishing and hunting. In recent days, Rene enjoyed spending time with his grandsons, Ashton and Sawyer.
Rene was predeceased by his parents, Douglas and Juliette Cook, and his brother, Douglas Cook. He is survived by his sisters, Karen Barrick and Laura Martel; his children, Christopher Cook and Melissa Cook; and his beloved grandsons, Ashton and Sawyer Cook.
