Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Gallantry is not glitz. What counts the most is a man's will to defend his fellow officers and the people he watches over. Like a mother who stays by the nest with her young, you stayed by Dade County's side for six loyal and promising years of dignified, honored and most heroic service providing integrity, vigilance and character at every turn, Officer Cook. Never out of sight, heart or mind, your legacy is the respect and the noble wisdom and humbleness that lasts forever never being tarnished or disgraced as you poured your entire body into your sacred labors of passion. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

To uplift is to raise mankind. A very special soul cherished and widely respected for service that was top notch, first class and professional all the way. Dade County had you for six years, Officer Cook, seventy-two months of humble, humane and loyal care, concern and consideration. Too short a journey, too soon your earthly missions were deemed as finished, you were just beginning your worldly tasks and roles when one single individual decided his problems had to be brought out to Liberty City's streets where you patrolled with your partner that fateful day. He unleashed a string of domestic violence against his girlfriend and you, your comrades and civilization. God has you tender soul, integrity and dignity walking soundly and smoothly now and for eternity. Just why? Why so soon? Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

I take a long walk everyday, Officer Cook. It invigorates me and I guess causes my brain to recharge its batteries. To place these noble yet poignantly humble reflections does take some endeavor. After all you paid a dear price for freedom and tranquility to reign loudly here in Dade County where its streets were kept safe for the most part. I see when I drive to Miami Airport all the newest of housing venues and your sacrifice along with around a hundred and forty other humane officers helped to set the stage for nothing happiness. Yours was uprooted for no reason at all except for the vindictive actions of a troubled man bent on revenge as I'm sure you did not know one another. The people sure as heck know and remember your special and virtuous soul of valor and promise never to be forgotten. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Your smile and handsome face behind the American flag tell your story, Officer Cook. A sincere and sweet young man gone all too soon.

God's best crops get put to the severest of tests each day. Police work beckons the humble, brave and honored servants outdoors for some challenging times so much so exasperation can surely be felt. Their hearts are golden and pure, so invigorated and dignified, it's where integrity and character's respect count for the most. The best offense can be the best defense when you sheltered Dade County, Officer Cook, with a hut of humility, hope and heroism. Never overlooked nor forgotten for feats of compassion, consideration and kindness given to humanity which misses you along with your whole family and close personal peers of truth and trust, justice served properly the first time around.
