Jeff Cook, age 58, of Ubly, passed away, suddenly, at home on December 23, 2017.

Jeffrey Paul Cook was born on April 5, 1959 in Pontiac, MI, son of Paul and Marjorie (Coventry) Cook.

Jeff graduated from Ortonville’s Brandon High School in 1977, and continued farming with his family.   He was active in 4-H and loved exhibiting at fairs and Holstein shows throughout Michigan.  In 1978, he moved with his family to a larger farm in the Ubly area, increased their herd size, and milked their Registered  Holsteins for many years, but Jeff, most of all enjoyed the fieldwork.  In recent years, he decided to specialize in growing and providing grass and alfalfa hay to other dairy producers and farmers, with good friend Jim Tyrrell and family.

Jeff was a great fan of Michigan State Spartan Football, and the Detroit Tigers.  He also appreciated watching the Detroit Lions when they played a good game.  Jeff enjoyed welding and building, country music, jokes, pizza, beer, attending farm shows, and driving around the thumb, checking things out.  Jeff adored his nieces.
