We have lost a top competitor, a great friend, an ambassador to our sport, and just a perfect example of how we all should prioritize our lives and treat others. David spoke often of his family and his employees (his extended family) with a sparkle in his eyes & warmth in his heart.
We will always remember him as the gentleman he was. He never said a bad word about anybody, was always first to help anyone needing his help, always took time to visit with his friends, and would beat you like a drum at a match while rooting for you to win as well.
David Cook was a Gentlemen's Gentleman. We will miss him very much. Our thoughts & prayers go out to his family.

CYA friends:
When I heard about David the first thing I wanted to do was to post something here on CYA.
But, I just wasn't ready to let him go.........
I thought of every comforting word in my limited vocabulary, but could find none that would do David, or his family, justice.
So I simply listed his name, including his CYankee moniker, which is how I came to know David in the first place.
David will always be the "Ridge Runner".
Then something very special happened.
Big Dog typed out a simple sentence and a half, that says more beautifully who David Cook was, than all the words I might gather up if I searched for a year.
"We will always remember him as the gentleman he was. He never said a bad word about anybody,"
When a human being lays down to sleep for the last time, what better legacy could any of us ask for.
After they made David Cook, they broke the mold.

When I first started shooting beyond the local level, David was one of the first competitors that I met. His friendship and willingness to share his experience was most impressive to a newcomer and Mike definitely described the David that I knew. His untimely departure from the range will leave a huge void. My prayers go out to his family, close friends and employees.
