Rodney “Rod” Eugene Cook, 54, of East Liberty, passed away Sunday, Feb. 12, 2017, in his home.
He was born in Marysville, on March 25, 1962, a son of the late Nelson Leroy Cook and Carol Coons Cook, who survives in East Liberty.
He is also survived by his wife, Julia Armentrout Cook of East Liberty; a son, Rick (Stacie) Cook of Kenton; a stepson, Chad (Jennifer) Stratton of Florida; a stepdaughter, Nicole (Rob) Erwin of Mechanicsburg; eight grandchildren, three step-grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; a sister, Teresa (Tim) Rausch of West Mansfield; three brothers, Terry (Rhonda) Cook and Dave (Margie) Cook, both of East Liberty, and John (Jennifer) Cook of Marysville, a sister-in-law, Diana Coons of West Mansfield; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Rod owned and operated Rod Cook Construction and just enjoyed working with his hands and building things. He was a member of the Calvary Baptist Church, Bellefontaine, and loved his church family.
