Desertion is a cowardly means of escaping the truth of reality. Maybe Mr. Pearsall before he acted that day should have thought long and hard, really pondered his actions before shooting up Liberty City and taking your life, Officer Cook and nearly those of your sincerest of colleagues. Their lives have gone on even with pain from their injuries, while yours ended sadly and so too your integrity, honor and dignity. Al used for a heavenly purpose, to try and keep Dade County safe and tranquil. A tough task. The assignments more larger and the stakes higher. And yet as the stress level increases, your principles, morals and mettle too amped up a notch higher. We will never forget your instincts and ingenuity as they were as good as your humility and vigilance which made the venues more civil. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

As you welcome another member of the police fraternity into heaven , Officer Cook, your family and colleagues know that bright smile and engaging personality will shelter him from harm. Officer Jermaine Brown was from your department, had fifteen years as a public servant, left a wife and children behind. His wife also worked for the agency. He was killed in an ATV accident. I know your dignity, integrity and honor will accentuate his soul into the skies above as he takes humble hold of those angelic wings. The ones you earned for having the fortitude and humility to preserve Dade County lives. A commitment to excellence worth saluting. No better man of character, maturity. wisdom and vision working those perilous roads than yourself. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Wickedness leaves more than queasy stomachs. It leaves a trail of bloodshed and terror that can make the work of any dignified public servant that much harder to do. Resolve and effort become tougher. Stress, duress and whatever else needed to stabilize an area becomes more involved. You kept your solemn oath, Officer Cook and transformed Dade County and its residents into a more safe and trusting region. Violence and its ruination can't spell any good and where trouble lurks there you were, Officer Cook, complete with character, honesty and integrity to battle like never before for us.

Bravery is bounded by honor at one side and integrity and dignity on the other sides. Dade County was well documented for having its episodes of evil and unrest and from that tensions started running high. You came along, Officer Cook and tried your utmost to diffuse a terrible domestic incident on May 16, 1979, doing all in your power to calm down a nasty man whose character escalated into him wanting to shoot and kill police. Sadly, God must have needed your special soul, Officer Cook, in his fortress to watch over your family and professional peers. Mankind and humanity thank you for your heroic deeds of determination.
