DAVID COOK
David Cook, 51 of Connersville passed away on Thursday, August 12, 2021, at Reid Health in Richmond. He was born on December 26, 1969, in Connersville to Raymond Wayne Cook and Brenda Kay Brown Brandenburg.
At the early age of 11 on the first day of sixth grade, he met his sweetheart, Rhonda Tillison. They then got married on November 3, 1990, in Connersville.
David worked for Dixon’s Heating and Air for more than 15 years before going to work at Hydro as the press lead for the last 15 years. He has always been such a dedicated worker in every job he has had. He loved his job at Hydro and considered his coworkers his family.
David could fix anything and loved helping others, there wasn’t much he couldn’t do. He was one of the best handy men to have around. When he wasn’t working, you could often find him out fishing or working on his truck. Most importantly he was simply just a family man who loved to spend time with his family. His presence was one you wanted to be surrounded with; always a joy to be around.
Along with his loving wife and mother, he will be greatly missed by his daughters and son in laws, Jessica (Stephen) Widau and Amanda (Timothy) Dirkhising; his granddaughters, Kerrigan, Rylin, Kennedy and Raeley; his siblings, Larissa (Daryl) Goodwin, LaDawna Raby and Scott Jones; five step sisters, Jeannie Stelle, Judy Rambo, Jennifer Fosnight, Joann Usher amd Janice Brandenburg; a step brother, William (JR) Earl Brandenburg; an aunt, Diana Sue (Ronnie) Crane, an uncle, Cecil Wayne (Maureen) Brown; and cousins, Denise Pierson, Derrick Crane, Bruce Brown, Clint Brown and Steve Brown; and many friends.
David was preceded in death by his son, Travis Dylan Cook, his father, Raymond Duane Cook; his step father, William Earl Brandenburg; maternal grandmother, Ruth Marie VanVolkenburg; maternal grandfather, Cecil Elbert Brown and paternal grandparents, Ralph and Larcina Ammerman.
