Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Assertive yet humble. Blessed yet humane. Honorable yet heroic. Dignified yet esteemed. Dade County and its people could never have been in better hands than when you watched over them, Officer Cook. A sincerely nice man who heart and soul were indeed gifted and talented. It took virtually your entire book of acumen, awareness and being astute to try and calm Mr.Pearsall, getting him to surrender was the past that sadly he did not comply and all the trouble for him began then. Officer DiGenova, your comrade and friend entering that Nova trying to disarm him and then being shot point blank in the face where it greatly damaged his brain. He and Officer Edgerton were fortunate to survive that brutality. That bullet you took in the side, Officer Cook, was your unselfish, undying and highly respectful ultimate sacrifice you made on everyone's behalf not to be overlooked,forgotten or shoved aside and believe me you won't sir. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Your missions where of character, goodwill and hope for that brighter tomorrow. A future without you, Officer Cook, is a little less brighter hopefully the skies above are always blessed with sunlight and perfect serenity as only God can create. Your compassion and passion were to be fondly revered.
