Gary Cook

Gary Lee Cook, age 83, went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on December 23, 2024. He was born in Allegan, Michigan, on September 10, 1941, to Lee and Nettie (Walker) Cook.

He was a graduate of Allegan High School and the University of Michigan School of Architecture. Most of his architectural career was as a partner at Lyle-Cook-Martin Architects, Clarksville, TN.

Many took part in Bible studies led by him. He was a member of First Baptist Church where he served as a Deacon. The mark of a great man is that he walks humbly with God and Gary was truly a humble servant of the Lord.

Gary is survived by his loving wife, Shirley Sebright Cook, sons Kevin (Donna) Cook, and Daniel Cook, daughter Lesley Chapman, and grandchildren Miranda (Edward) Brittingham, Sara Cook, Cadence Chapman, Sadie Chapman, Asher Chapman, and great grandchildren Declan Brittingham, Theodore Brittingham, and sisters Jane Shagonaby, Kathy (George) Harlan, and Wendy (Stuart) Mead. 

He left this earth looking forward the being reunited with his parents, Lee and Nettie Cook, siblings Rosine Latchaw, Coleen Cook, Jim Cook and Jody Waynick, and son, Chad Arthur Cook.

The funeral will be at a later date in Allegan, Michigan, with internment at Hudson Corners Cemetery, Allegan Township, Michigan.
