Jacob Andrew Cooke (Drew) passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, December 23, 2018, He was born on October 26th, 1998 in Coral Springs, Florida. He came into the world excited about life and ready for adventure. Drew was always the first person to help friends or family members in need with his sensitive and “fix-it” nature and the most warm hug you never want to let go. He loved going on long drives in his truck and short jaunts in his dad’s fast cars, going fishing, hunting and snowboarding and just hanging out with friends and family. He wanted more than anything to have a family of his own and to continue traditions he loved. He had a larger than life personality, a smile that could light up any room, and a huge heart that loved people and animals. Drew graduated from Franklin High School, was attending Columbia State Community College and worked at Global K9 Protection Services. In his short 20 years with us he touched so many lives with his love, laughter and generosity.
Drew is preceded in death by his grandfather, Jack Rubin and his grandmother, Jackie Graef. He is survived by his parents, Greg and Diane Cooke; his brothers, Blake Williams and Seth Cooke; his sister, Devin Williams; his grandfather, Dr. Stanley Cooke; grandmother, Evonne Rubin; his Uncles Bill (Kelsey) Rubin, Ken (Sac) Rubin, Bob (Chris) Rubin, and Chris Cooke; ten first cousins, countless other relatives and a whole community of people who loved him.
