DANIA BEACH, Fla. - Michael Lee Cook, of Dania Beach, Florida, died Dec. 26, 2019, in London, Kentucky. He was born Feb. 2, 1947, in Galesburg Cottage Hospital in Galesburg, Illinois, to Frederick and Margery Lee (Smith) Cook.
He is survived by two sons, Walter Nathan Cook Sr. of San Pedro, California, and Michael A. Cook of Visalia, California; six stepchildren; eight grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. He is also survived by two brothers, Gary Cook and Thomas (Lynn) Cook, and a sister, Pamela (Ron) Corbin, all of Galesburg; an aunt, Donna Moore of Spring Hill, Florida; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Mike was preceded in death by both his parents.
For the last 20 years Mike was a long haul truck driver. His last business partner was Angelo Verdelotti, who was more like a brother than a business partner or friend to Mike. Mike loved spending his precious time off with his sons and grandchildren or by riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
He loved going to football games and also tried to make it to as many of Michael's cage fighting events as possible.
A celebration of life will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2, 2020, at the Knoxville American Legion in Knoxville, Illinois. All family and friends are invited to attend to celebrate Mike's life.
