Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Violence needs to have the drapes and curtains pulled on its seedy and most heinously shady actions. Your trustworthiness and fairness, Officer Cook, was what is expected from all honorable and loyal public servants. Dade County was given the assurance of safety and quiet pursuits of happiness and your inspiring humility, heroism and resolve challenged other colleagues to perform in the same manner. Never more honored for restoring humanity's image, one made brighter by a bold and cherished human being. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Violence does not just need a tongue lashing, it needs more sophisticated weaponry to scuttle its nasty advances throughout mankind, society and humanity. As curious as man is, police must be on guard for any possible attack or retaliation. Never one to rant or rave nor boast, your life and career, Officer Cook, was filled with nothing but sure fire honor, boldness and the dignity that integrity and character represent. Dade County was a place where peace and the personification of your steady perseverance and heroism was noticed. Our shelters and havens were lined with staunch loyalty and the happiness you too , Officer Cook, deserved to live for not die at the hands of a most cruel and diabolical man. Evil strikes at our hearts and your tenacity tugged at terror's torrential storm of serious mayhem. You served and protected as any valuable professional would.

Pulsing right through the bodies of your loved ones while they pursue and carry on with your smile and purposes and happiness of life. A career marked by respectful resolve, honorable intentions and dignified pathways by which integrity may flow. Never forgotten, a hero and a gentleman whose youth was never lost. That spirit was immediately uplifted to heaven where your dad, Mr. Charles Cook, may he too rest in peace along now with his beloved Julia. Your reverent and humbly pious mother, Mrs. Cook. Your mother carried on her stoic life without her darling and heroic son for nearly forty years without seeing your radiant face ever again all because of a mad man lacking character, morals and some semblance of faith. Three Cooks are solemnly remembered by their daughter and your big sister, Nancy. Mountains of pictures, millions of memories warm, poignant and sad. Life does move forward as you rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Heaven and Our King have your brave and loving heart seated next that throne of sanctity and harmony forevermore. Karen, your beloved widow who remarried ten years ago has those keepsakes of your solid constitution and consideration for all humanity.

Your life just should not have ended that way even though you were performing your official duties to protect.
