Troy Cook
July 27th, 1962 - Dec. 10th, 2008
Resident of Martinez

Troy was born in Vallejo, Ca and moved to Walnut Creek as a young child. He was a dedicated father, loving son, outstanding brother, favorite uncle, and most loyal friend. Troy was always a complete joy to be around. He lived for his family, his children were his lifelong passion. He also enjoyed watching football for hours on end, riding his Harley Davidson, a little gambling here and there, his dog Jackie, his job, and all the great years of coaching baseball.

Troy dedicated 27 years of his life as an employee at PGnE, starting at the young age of just 19. Troy took great pride in his job and would work endlessly until the job was done.

Troy's character was definitely a one of a kind. He always displayed true kindness to everyone he came into contact with- including strangers on the streets. He never hesitated sharing whatever he had to give. His generosity has affected more lives than we'll ever know.

Troy is survived by his children: Bryan Cook, Allison Cook, their mother Rose Rusca, Mitchell Cook, Mitchell's mother; Linda Gass, his mother Nona Cook (James Stonhaus), his siblings; Michael Cook, Traci Cook, Lara Gartside (Robert), nieces and nephews; Jason Cook (Lyndsey), Jeron Stotler, Chelsea Stotler, Adam, Justin, Noah, and Rylee Gartside, and great nephew Landon Cook. Troy was pre-deceased by his father Art Cook in 2005.

The true love and happiness that Troy brought to his family and friends will be missed like no other, his genuine heart will be remembered by all that had the privilege of sharing life with him!
