Michael John Cook

Michael John Cook age 60 passed away on January 26th 2023 after a sudden accident. He was born on October 15th, 1962 to Maryann Cook in St Paul Minnesota and has three siblings Cindy, Lori, and Matt Cook.

Michael joined the Army at 18 and served for 2 1/2 years during which he worked as a mechanic primarily on track vehicles. He then went on to work as a delivery driver for Accurate Door. When they closed their doors he decided it was time to go out on his own. This was the start to Architectural Doors Incorporated which opened in 1989. Since then for the last 34 years he has lead this company in providing doors, frames and hardware for commercial purposes. This company was at the center of his dedication and vision for his family. He was a man who loved his work and truly built a legacy.

He worked so hard for truly one reason, his family. In 1987, Michael met Christine at a softball game at Fort Carson. He and Christine went on to have three children Calla, Nikole and Johnathan, and two grandchildren Maverick and Mila with another one on the way. Christine and Michael embraced 35 years of marriage together and truly optimized what it means to say “I do.” They stood by one another through thick and thin and always remained commitment to each other. Anyone who knew Mike knew he loved spending time with them more than anything. They got to create some of their fondest memories with him on family trips to places like Mexico, Canada, Italy, Costa Rica, and Vail to name a few. These trips led to some of the family’s favorite memories of Mike they will always cherish.

In his free time Mike loved golfing, listening to live music, hunting, cooking, eating, drinking, dancing (featuring his one signature move), and watching sports especially anything to do with Tom Brady, Broncos or the Avalanche. He was a simple man who didn’t need much to be happy and simultaneously would do anything to make those he loved happy.

Michael is survived by his loving wife, three children and two grandchildren. They will be having a celebration of life held at Bear Dance Golf Club in Larkspur Colorado on February 18th from 1-5 pm. They want this gathering to truly be a reflection of Michael, and so they ask that those who join bring memories and stories to share at a celebration of life service for Michael, which will be held Saturday, February 18, 2023 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Bear Dance Golf Club, 6630 Bear Dance Drive, Larkspur, CO 80118.
