Brent Stevenson Cook
July 3, 1941 – December 3, 2021
Brent Stevenson Cook passed away on December 3, 2021, at Davis Hospital due to complications of a broken heart after the sudden passing of his sweet wife in June. He was welcomed into the arms of his awaiting eternal companion as his daughters and granddaughters sweetly sang to him.
Brent was born on July 3, 1941, in Ogden Utah, to Lloyd Jesse and Faye LaDean Stevenson Cook.
He was raised on the family farm. He resided in Syracuse for over 76 years. He attended Davis High School where he enjoyed slot car racing, U-Control airplanes and fixing or rebuilding anything he could get his hands on.
He married his sweetheart Judy Benton Cook on September 27th, 1962 in the Logan Utah temple. They had three beautiful daughters. They were married for 58 years. In his adult years, Brent enjoyed and excelled at water and snow skiing. He was a member of the National Ski Patrol at Powder Mountain Ski Resort for over twenty years. He loved building and flying remote control airplanes and gliders. He belonged to the Northern Utah Radio Control Aircraft Club. In his last ten years, he enjoyed collecting and flying drones. He loved camping and fishing with his family. Brent loved Pepsi-Cola and was seldom seen without one.
He possessed a gentle, soft disposition. He didn’t like contention or conflict of any kind. He has left us all a legacy of Christ-like behavior.
He is preceded in death by his sweet wife Judy, his parents, his sister Carolyn Cook (Kelly) Green, and his brother Glen Alma Cook. He is survived by his loving daughters Brenda (Craig) Archuleta of Brigham City, Utah, Caryn (Kelly) Ryan of Clearfield, Utah and Amy (Bryan) Bair of Clinton, Utah. He had eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren as well as his brother, Leo (Marlene) Cook of Syracuse, Utah and sister-in-law Deanna Cook, also of Syracuse, Utah.
The Family would like to thank Cristi Olmstead, Mom and Dad’s favorite ‘Angel’ and granddaughter Marlee Bair for her selfless service to her “Papa” over the last several weeks. We deeply appreciate the Leo Cook family for helping our dad have “The Trip of a Lifetime!” to Sun Valley Idaho after the passing of his sweetheart.
The family would also like to thank the staff of Davis Hospital, Utah Cardiology and Tanner Clinic for their tender loving care of our dad.
Funeral services will be held Friday, December 10, 2021, at the Clinton 23rd Ward, 2206 W. 2300 N. Clinton. Friends may visit family Thursday from 6 to 8 at Lindquist’s Syracuse Mortuary, 869 S. 2000 W. and Friday 9:30 – 10:30 prior to the services at the church.
