Timothy Odell Cook, Rogersville, Missouri, was born August 28, 1942 to William and Laura (McNish) Cook. He passed away on September 03,2025, in his home at the age of 83 years.

He retired from Coca Cola after nearly 38 years of service. He remained steadfast in his loyalty to Coke and wouldn't hesitate to "give someone a hard time" that might be drinking something besides a Coke product. Strangers and even Family members were not excluded from his teasing.

He loved his whole Big Family dearly. He also loved playing music and singing, as well as, feeding and watching the birds, deer and turkey. He also loved hot coffee, regardless of the temperature outside.

He is survived by his wife, Marjorie Cook; his children, Gaylene Cook of Springfield, Robin Smith and Will of Sparta, Tim Cook and Tammy of Rogersville; six grandchildren, Alissa, Seth, Brandon, Timothy, Landen and Tyler; and seven great grandchildren, Blake, Kiersten, Jacob, Noah, Vidalia, Millie, and Lynleigh (and one beautiful baby girl "on the way"). He is also survived by his sister Joy Hume and Bob of Seymour, his brothers-in-law Bill Smith (Shirley) and Don Gullett, as well as, many Nieces, Nephews, Cousins and Friends.

He was preceded in death by his late wife, Judith Cook; his Sisters: Edith Childress, Alice Thomason, Betty Ashley, Verda Mae Morris and Treba Bouldin; and four brothers: Freeman Cook, Clinton Cook, Samuel Cook and James Cook and also his Sisters and Brother-in-Law: Mildred and Don Sisco, Mary Gullett and Wanda Smith.
