Joe Cook

September 27, 1963 - February 28, 2022

Joe Cook passed from this life on February 28, 2022, at home in Hobart. He was born on September 27, 1963, in Germany and was adopted by Harvey Glen Cook and Patsy Faye (Dunn) Cook. Joe attended Hobart Schools and was a proud Bearcat graduate, Class of 1982. Joe was presented with The State of Oklahoma Citation on December 12, 1980, pursuant to the motion of Senator Gilmer N. Capps in recognition of managing the Hobart High School Football Team, the Bearcats. He helped the Team to achieve a 15-0 season record and to make the bid for the State Class A Championship possible. Joe married the love of his life, Kathryn Rose McNeal, on December 30, 1995, and to this union four children were born: Jonna, Levi, Angie and Marcus. He continued his love and support for the Bearcats throughout his life. He was manager at Big-A Burger in Hobart for 32 years until his illness. Joe loved to fish, travel in general, but liked to go to car shows. He knew no stranger, was a good listener, always available for a helping hand and was always supportive of his kids or other kids’ projects, but he especially loved being with people. He is survived by his wife Kathy of the home, daughter Jonna Cook of Wichita, Kansas and Angie Cook of Alva, Oklahoma, son Marcus Cook of Oklahoma City, sister Deborah Hansard of Lubbock and special sister Marsha Edwards of Hobart. Joe was preceded in death by his son Levi, parents Patsy and Harvey Cook and Hubert and Ellen Long, the ones who raised him.
