Craig R. Cook

After a year-long battle with cancer, Craig passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, on February 21, 2026. He leaves behind a family who loved him deeply and will carry his memory forward always.

He was a proud veteran who served his country honorably as a sniper in the United States Marine Corps. During his military service, he was also selected to serve as a presidential guard for President Ronald Reagan, an assignment that reflected the trust placed in him and remained a point of deep pride throughout his life. While his service meant a great deal to him, those who knew him best understood that his greatest role was being a father and grandfather. He loved his family fiercely, without hesitation or condition, and nothing brought him more happiness than being together with his children and grandchildren. Time spent with them, whether laughing, telling stories, or simply being present, meant everything to him.

He is survived by his children: Amanda (Frank) Klimek-Favuzza, Eric (Megan) Cook, Stephanie (Tyler Anderson) Kaiser, and Ashley (Tim) DeCoursey; his loving girlfriend, Diana Loggins; his grandchildren, who were the light of his life: Ellie and Owen Kaiser; Addison, Olivia and Logan Cook; Bella, Jacob, Jackson, Lucas, Maverick and Joseph Klimek-Favuzza; Liam DeCoursey; and his beloved dog, Toby.

He has been reunited in spirit with his late father, Allen B. Cook, and his brother, Theron Cook.

His remarkable strength, unwavering loyalty, and profound love will resonate through his family for generations to come. He will be profoundly missed, more than words can convey, and will be remembered daily by those who loved him.

Friends and family are welcome to attend services remembering his life, with military honors, on Friday, March 6th, 2026, at 11am at Gateway Church in Parkesburg, PA.
