Hadley, Kenneth Dale Cook, 27, passed away unexpectedly on May 16, 2016 after a short illness at Cooley Dickinson Hospital.

Kenny, as he was known to all, was born in Randolph, Vermont on January 24, 1989 to Richard and Myrna Cook. He attended schools in Royalton, Vermont before moving back to Hadley where all his relatives resided. He then attended various schools around Hadley before he found his favorite place of learning which turned out to be Riverside Industries in Easthampton. He eagerly went there and touched many people’s lives.

He leaves his parents of Hadley, his brother Kevin and wife Sara of Lebanon Township, New Jersey, and his nieces and nephews Bryce, Paige, and Quinn. Kenny also leaves many aunts, uncles, and cousins in the surrounding area.

Kenny enjoyed listening to music, watching videos, swimming in his pool, and attending UMass sporting events. He also had a strong liking of Atkins apple squares and a fondness for pepperoni pizza, and he was never shy about wishing everyone a “Happy Birthday.”

Calling hours will be Friday, May 20, 2016 from 5-7:30PM at the Douglass Funeral Service in Amherst. Private funeral services will follow.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Riverside Industries, 1 Cottage St, Easthampton or Whole Children, 41 Russell St, Hadley.
