Justin Cook Obituary

Justin and I went to LP together and he was such an amazing and friendly guy. He truly touched everyone around him with his one-of-a-kind personality. He always said "hi" to me in the halls and made me laugh in the classes we shared. When I think of him, I think of that big smile. Unfortunately, we lost touch after graduation, but when I heard about his death, I was devastated. To his family, I am so sorry for your loss; you raised an amazing man.

I went to Germany in 2006 with Justin, and also had many German classes with him, AND plenty of good nights having a beer at Stammtisch. I always enjoyed his quick wit, jovial humor, and wry grin, and I'm glad I have the honor of knowing him; I will never forget him. His life ended too early, but it was lived more fully than many.

Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit unseres Freundes: Justin. Bis wir uns mal wieder sehen, Alter. "Friede Aus".

It was with great shock and sorrow that we learned of Justin's death. We had all enjoyed Justin as a very bright and always cheerful student in our courses. He was extremely devoted to all things German on campus, a fixture in German Club activities: viewing films, volunteering time for bake sales and RamRide, attending Stammtisch and helping at Lerntisch. Justin was well-liked by his classmates and professors alike for his easy-going personality and his ready smile. We were very proud of him as a graduate of our German program, and anticipated only good things for his future.

Our most sincere sympathy to his parents, grandparents, brother, and all who loved this fine young man,

Dear Jim, Deana, and Jason-living in NY we didn't get the pleasure of knowing Justin-but being a cousin of Jim and knowing Deana all these years-we can certainly surmise what a great young man Justin had become. The miles may separate us, but our thoughts and prayers are with you all. As the cousins grew, we have lived somewhat parallel lives-having children that are approximately the same age. It's a wonderful coinsidense that John, Craig and Jim all had kids at the same time. Looking at the east coast kids-really brings home your tremendous loss. Know that all of us are holding you close in our everyday thoughts. Your east coast cousin--

Jim, Dean, & Jason,

Truly sorry for your loss. Justin seems to glow even in the photograph above. May you feel his presence now and always.

Lots of Love from back East-

I had the pleasure of working with Justin and he always had a smile for everyone. He will be missed dearly. My thoughts are with you.

One of our German faculty members just notified us of Justin's passing. Nearly all of the Foreign Languages and Literature's Department at Colorado State University is away on summer break, but any who knew Justin personally will be sad to learn of his demise. Meanwhile, on behalf of those who are still in the dark, my sincere condolences to all of Justin's family and Betsy.

I saw Justin in the halls all the time, we got along but never hung out. I would always tell him he should become a cook and he always laughed. Didn't know him very well but I knew he was a good guy.

Jim,Deana,Jason and the rest of the Cook family,our thoughts and prayer's go out to you.Justin will be missed by all that knew him.

With deepset sympathy. I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Justin for several years. He always had the biggest smile. He was always willing to help out no matter how busy he was. I enjoyed hearing him speak German. I will miss him.

Thoughts and prayers are with you and family. Sorry for you loss.

So sorry for your loss. We will miss Justin very much. He was alway helpful to me at work and I will miss him for this smile always made you feel good when you I was sad.

I knew Justin from high school and we hung out often during senior year. He was an amazing guy and he will be sorely missed.

Jim and Deana and Jason we just heard of Justin passing we are so sorry. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My husband and I both went to LP with Justin. We didnt get to hang out with him a lot, but the times we did were so much fun! We had a great time with him and all the guys on New Years Eve 2006. When we woke up the next day, everyone was entertained to find Justin sleeping under the Christmas tree :)

I am so sad and sorry to hear of his passing.

May your memories bring you comfort in this time of grief.

Justin worked across the cubicle wall from me from the day he hired on, so I had the opportunity to observe him for quite a while...He was always in a good humor (even when the Redwings lost!) and was always patient and helpful...In thirty some years of office work, I don't recall enjoying the company of another co-worker as much. Justin was truly a credit to his school and, especially, his family.
May the Good Lord comfort all of his family and friends at this time and forever.

I had the great honor of going to Germany with Justin for school. The trip was incredible, not just because of what we all saw, but mostly because of the new people we met, and Justin's humor, wit, and optimistic outlook on life made him not just easy to like, but love. I am so sad to live in a world without his laughter. He will be missed. Auf Wiedersehen mein Freund.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I knew Justing for a short period however it seemed I had known him for very long. He was a great co worker and great to work with. He will be missed.

Jim, Deana, Jason and the rest of the Cook family,
Justin was such a personality. I will always look back upon the good times I had with Justin. He will be so missed by all that knew him.

Justin, your ability to light up a room with your smile and sense of humor will not be forgotten. Prost!
