He loved his family, had a flair for cuisine, enjoyed traveling (especially if it included an LSU football game), a thirst for knowledge, and a story for every event.
He is preceded in death by his parents David and Gloria Cook, his paternal grandmother, Mary LeCompte Cook, and his maternal grandmother, Harriett Love Atanacio. He is survived by his two sons, David James Cook V and wife Lisa, and Patrick Lee Cook; brother Michael Alexander Cook Sr., wife Patrice, nephew Michael Alexander Cook, Jr, wife Shyanna, great niece Natalie, nephew John Tyler Cook, and niece Elizabeth Paige Cook; as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Pallbearers will be family and Friends.
The family would also like to say a special thank you for the love and care provided by the doctors, nurses, and staff of Christus Highland Cancer Treatment Center.

I should probably check this web site more often than I actually do these days. One thing I will say is that David had a locker right next to mine on the football team. David was always in a good mood and cheerful which was not my personality at all. David and I had some good discussions around who we wanted to knock out in the next Friday night game. I enjoyed those discussions and miss them. I saw David at the 30th reunion and he had not changed to me that much. Someone had posted twenty years earlier that I had died while on the police force. When I got to the reunion David said I knew you were not dead. You are not that easy to kill. We laughed and caught up some. I will miss David he was good friend to me in high school. My best wishes go out to his family. Pete
