Danny L. Cook, 76, of Barryton, passed away on Thursday, July 9, 2026. He was born on June 28, 1950, in Edmore, the son of Lawrence Cook and Ruth Daily.

On April 25, 1980, he was united in marriage to Patricia Whaley. Together they shared a life rooted in hard work, family, and the farm they loved.

Danny was a lifelong farmer through and through. His life revolved around the farm, caring for tractors, backhoes, horses, cattle, and pigs. He looked forward to the end of each farming season, only to eagerly anticipate the beginning of the next. Farming wasn't just his occupation—it was his way of life.

For several years, Danny faithfully served as sexton of East Fork Cemetery. He also enjoyed deer hunting, taking the occasional trip, and spending time teasing his nieces and nephews. Above all, he cherished the presence of his family and the simple moments they shared together.

He is survived by his loving wife, Patricia; siblings, Beverly Belding, Harold (Sharon) Cook, and Janie Roe; along with several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his siblings, Connie Orderiway, Larry Cook, Sharon Anderson, Douglas Harper, and David Harper.

Cremation has taken place, and no services are planned at this time.
