Joshua Gene Cook

1985 - 2017

JOSHUA GENE COOK Joshua Gene Cook was born in Fortuna, CA on February 24, 1985. He unexpectedly left this earth on January 20, 2017 in the state of Washington. Now he is resting in the arms of our heavenly Father. Joshua is preceded in death by his Nana Candy Fleek, Grandpa Gary Udovich, Uncle Brian Udovich and his brother Braxton Hamilton. He is survived by his wife Lacey Cook, daughters Heaven, Candice and Margaret Cook; Madeline Flores, Helen Martin, parents Michelle Foster and Jeff Hamilton, brother Nick Hamilton, Grandpa Ben Fleek, godfather Clayton Matthews, Aunt Kelly and Uncle Adam and many more aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family and friends across the country. Joshua's pride and joy was his girls -- he adored them. Joshua's greatest passion in life was music. He was a singer, songwriter and guitarist. At a very young age he started playing and recording music and his talent excelled through the years. He aspired to cut a record and got very close to doing just that. Joshua enjoyed hunting, fishing and riding quads and motorcycles. He was very recently married to Lacey Dean Cook of Washington. Prior to that he shared his life with Madeline Flores the mother of two of his girls. Joshua was extremely charismatic and a joker by nature. In general a people person, he touched many lives with his compassionate ways. He had come to know the Lord and found great peace and happiness in his life. Anyone who was a friend of my son's knows that he gave wholeheartedly of himself. He will be deeply missed by many. We will celebrate Joshua's life this Spring to be announced at a later date. We will also announce a place to donate for his children. Any questions please contact his mother Shell Foster at greemabear@gmail.com. Please sign the guestbook at www.times-standard.com
