Warren Dale Cook...

Warren Dale Cook was born on May 27, 1955, and left to join his Heavenly Father on March 22, 2024. Warren was predeceased by his parents S. Lee Cook and Neva Hope Cook and his older brother Phillip Lane Cook. He is survived by his older sisters Jana Cook Ferguson (David), and Ellen Cook Ellis (Richard), and sister-in-law Kathy Cook. While Warren never married or had his own children, he considered his nieces and nephews his, and was affectionately known as Uncle Duke by them. He never failed to ask about them when he called and loved to see pictures on social media. All the kids have great memories of their Uncle Duke, and his generosity with them especially at Christmas. He spent his early years in Cleveland, Oklahoma, graduating from C.H.S. in 1973. After High School he followed family tradition and attended Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma, where he graduated in 1977 with a degree in communications. Warren was a life-long avid outdoorsman. He especially enjoyed hunting and fishing in his earlier years with his dad, brother, cousins and good friends.

After college Warren lived in several states as a real estate sales and marketing professional, finally settling in Branson, Missouri, where he resided for 20 plus years. Warren loved the natural beauty of that area, and it was not unusual to call and find him sitting by the side of a lake just taking in the beauty. Wild critters, birds, and stray cats would find a soft heart in him and a snack from his patio. Warren loved to share a good laugh, which he did often, endearing himself to many who loved to laugh with him. His smile, outgoing personality and just enjoyment of his job contributed to him receiving many awards in the timeshare industry. He enjoyed giving to others and was truly a generous person. Warren will be missed greatly and remembered fondly by all of us who loved him.

Cremation arrangements were under the direction of Snapp-Bearden Funeral Home & Crematory, Branson.
