Obituary: Dana Christopher Cook

BOYNTON BEACH — Dana Cook died June 8, concluding a full and vibrant life that touched the lives of many people. He was 63.

12686714276?profile=RESIZE_180x180Mr. Cook is survived by his loving parents, Barbara and Stan Cook; his sisters, Shauna Bowling and Tammie Smolchek; a nephew, Christopher Ratzlaff; and a niece, Olivia Smolchek.

Mr. Cook was much loved and adored by his friends who called him a Renaissance man. He had many friends and was a great friend in return.

He was an avid fisherman and well-known in the Boynton Beach fishing community. He always had a knack for finding the fish and catching the “big one.”

He was also a passionate painter. He loved the arts and his artwork touched many who knew him. Interestingly, he was color-blind. He overcame this challenge by being able to tell the difference among colors by their intensity.

The family will have an intimate ceremony celebrating Mr. Cook’s life.
