Andrew Lee Cook

ANDREW LEE COOK WAS BORN IN SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA, AT NAVAL HOSPITAL BALBOA. HE WAS ONE OF 8 SIBLINGS, HIS OLDER SIBLINGS WERE LUCINDA SEDILLO, PATRICIA FISCHER, GABRIEL SEDILLO, KANDICE DOUGALL, NATALIE BROWN, AND HIS YOUNGER SIBLINGS WERE VERONICA SEDILLO, AND ANDREAS SEDILLO. ANDREW WAS THE SON OF ANNA AND PATRICIO SEDILLO, AND DANIEL L. COOK, AND THE GRANDSON OF RICHARD AND WANDA COOK, AND ROBERT AND JO SETTLEMYER. ANDREW IS THE FATHER OF TAYLYNN DENISE COOK, AND CALEB LEE COOK. ANDREW WAS AN OUTGOING AND LOVING FATHER. HE LOVED HIS CHILDREN MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF. IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON TO FIND HIM LYING ON THE FLOOR COLORING, OR ON THE SIDE OF THE LAKE SKIPPING ROCKS OR MAKING SANDCASTLES OR DIGGING HOLES, AND BURYING THE KIDS OR HIS DOG JOEY. ANDREW HAD A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND AN INFECTIOUS LAUGH. HE LOVED TO PULL PRANKS ON HIS SIBLINGS. HE HAD ATTENTIVE BLUE EYES THAT TOOK IN ALL OF HIS SURROUNDINGS AND HAD A WARM AND COMFORTING SMILE. HE LOVED AND RESPECTED HIS FAMILY AND ALWAYS WAS WORRIED AND CONCERNED FOR THEM. HE WAS A DILIGENT AND HARDWORKING AND VERY COMPETENT AT WHATEVER JOB HE HELD. HE WAS VERY GOOD AT REARRANGING HIS DAD’S GARAGE AND HE FREQUENTLY BORROWED TOOLS. HE ADORED HIS DAD AND HIS OLDER BROTHER AND FOLLOWED THEIR ADVICE AND DIRECTION. BUT UNDER IT ALL HE WAS TO HIS CORE A MAMA’S BOY. HE WORRIED AND WORRIED ABOUT HIS MOTHER AND ALWAYS WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE SURE HE TOLD HIS MOM HOW MUCH HE LOVED HER, IN FACT THAT WAS THE LAST THING HE TOLD HER BEFORE HE DEPARTED. ANDREW LOVED THE WATER. HE SPENT ALL OF HIS FREE TIME ON THE RIVER, BEACH, OR THE LAKE. THAT WAS HIS HAPPY PLACE. HE INTRODUCED HIS CHILDREN TO WATER WHEN THEY WERE INFANTS. WATER WAS IN HIS DNA. HE WAS PASSIONATE ABOUT JET SKIING, FISHING, SWIMMING OR ANYTHING ELSE HE COULD DO ON THE WATER. HIS SECOND PASSION WAS AUTOMOBILES. HE ENJOYED CLASSIC CARS AND CAR SHOWS. ANYTIME HE SHOWED UP IN HIS CAR, THE BASS WAS BUMPING AND THE CAR WAS ROARING. ANDREW HAD GIVEN HIS LIFE TO CHRIST AND WAS BAPTIZED LAST YEAR. WE KNOW HE HAS CROSSED OVER AND IN OUR LORD'S CARE. HIS PASSING WILL TRULY LEAVE A WHOLE IN THE WORLD OF THOSE OF US LEFT BEHIND. HE WILL TRULY BE MISSED BY HIS FAMILY AND HIS CHILDREN. YOU HAVE LEFT US BY LEAVING YOUR FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND….
