Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceThe Cook and Huntley families have a very special relationship. Beaver (Jay Jr) lived behind my mother, in Pensacola, for a number of years. Jay Sr installed a gate that made it easy to visit. We enjoyed cookouts, Easter Egg hunts, and many other activities with the Cook family. Beaver was special to everyone and his oldest daughter said it best "he was a gentle soul"...
You were a good one Beaver. We had great times at the beach and in Pensacola. Kim and I will miss you. Tell Karen we said hello. You will be missed.
I will miss you Uncle Beaver I will especially miss spending time with you when we came to Pensacola watching movies together with the whole family and going to the beach I love you uncle Beaver ❤️
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
