Rickey Lee P. Cook, age 60 of Elkland, PA, unexpectedly passed away on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at his home. He was born on Sunday, April 24, 1966 at the Blossburg State Hospital in Blossburg, PA, and was a son to the late John and Marguerite (Thompson) Cook.
Rick was a 1984 Elkland Area High School graduate and went on to join the United States Army where he proudly served from 1984 to 1988.
He was a devoted member of the Lawrenceville Baptist Church for many years and was always there to lend a helping hand to those that needed it.
Rick enjoyed being out in nature – whether it was fishing, hunting, or sitting on his porch looking up at the stars in the night sky. He was really intrigued with astronomy and enjoyed sharing his knowledge with anyone who would listen. Rick was also an amazing artist and he loved spending time with his family for cookouts and holiday get-togethers.
Rick is survived by his large loving family and his close friend and pastor, Bob Burket. He was preceded in death by his parents; grandmother, Marion Cook; brother, David Cook; and an aunt and uncle, Sandy and Allen Cook.
Per Rick’s wishes, a memorial service will be held at a later date at the family’s convenience. Memorial donations can be made to Kenyon Funeral Home, 214 W. Main St., Elkland, PA 16920, to help the family with expenses. Arrangements have been entrusted to Kenyon Funeral Home, Inc.
