Don was my dad’s friend and fellow deputy. He told me about him today. He remembers him well and I think he would like me to tell his family he still thinks about him. I’m sorry for your loss. I don’t remember it now, but I’m sure I knew all about it when it happened. It looks like he has been remembered very well by many people. Much love.

Don is the grandfather of my three children, they never were able to meet their grandfather, all they have is others memories of him. They honor him and keep his memory alive. My son just moved into his new home and has a wall in his living room dedicated to his grandfather. No doubt Don is with them often his radio number is listed in a list of numbers that my son will use his whole life, my daughters first horse show the number pinned to her shirt was his radio number, we all see his radio number monthly somehow, just his reminder to us that he is with us. #256 always in our hearts

I was a young man when this happened and remember Deputy Cook’s untimely death and the heartfelt pain the entire community felt. Later in life I had the pleasure of working with and oftentimes beside that newborn son he left behind. Donald Cook Jr.
I’m all for naming anything after his father, it was Deputies like him who made this world a better place. Let’s not EVER FORGET their lives.

He was a great man and a great friend to my Daddy. I will never forget how broken Daddy’s heart was when Mr. Don was killed. He and his family need to be honored for their sacrifice!
