Bobby Joe Cook, Sr.

Bobby Joe Cook was born September 9th, 1945 in Cody, WY to Hyrum and Bernice Cook. Bobby graduated from Deaver High School in 1963. 

Bobby started out High Scaling in this life to becoming a tireman when he met his wife in Yellowstone National Park in 1965 screaming "DROP THE GARBAGE BAG" because she was being chased by a bear. This is where their love story began with wedding bells on December 30th, 1965 and ended on December 3rd, 2024 with his passing. Cookie, as he was also known as, went on through life trucking on his own terms until he retired a decade ago or so to spend his days with the love of his life until her passing in 2019. 

Cookie enjoyed life on his own terms and time with his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids and that'll be missed. We must make mention that Bobby was honorably discharged from the National Guard. He told us he peeled a lot of potatoes so he wouldn't have to do pull-ups. A lot of things our dad liked, but pull-ups wasn't one of them he mentioned a time or two!

Bobby is survived by his children: Bobby (Marcia) Cook, Stormy Fields, Heather (Jacob) Corra, Hillery (Sean) Day. Grandchildren; Gregory, Michael, K'LeeAnn, Arial, Brenden, Bethany, Saybin, Sidni, Ethen, Austin, and Journey. Siblings; Jim (Niki) Cook, Peggy Tremeling, and Lanny Cook.
