Visitation will be held at Crawford Bowers Funeral Home in Copperas Cove on August 16, 2021 at 10 am.

He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on November 28, 1965, to Paul and Olive Katherine Cook. He graduated from Copperas Cove High School and attended Central Texas College for welding classes. He held numerous jobs throughout his life, with the longest and most rewarding being as a store clerk for more than 20 years at Christensen’s Store in Kempner. His outgoing and caring demeanor made him a local fixture at the store. He enjoyed firearms, welding, and motorcycles.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Kathy Cook.

Survivors include his brother, Steve Cook, of Lampasas; his niece Alette Cook, and nephews Scooter and Duncan Cook.

Chuck had an unwavering support for Veterans, so in lieu of flowers, a donation in his honor can be made to Wounded Warrior Program.
