Joel Robert Cook

It is with great sadness the family of Joel Robert Cook announce his unexpected passing on May 25, 2024. Born on June 26, 1979, Joel was the youngest son of Juliet Kinghorne and Gerald Cook.

In addition to his parents, Joel is survived by his stepfather Eugene Kinghorne, stepmother Holly Sawler, brothers Luke Cook (Amy), Matthew Cook (Amber), stepsister Jacquline Rayner (Jamie), stepbrother Greg Kinghorne (Ashley), nieces Kayla, Eden, Ella, Molly, Olivia and Myeligh, one nephew Noah, four great nieces and his special friend, Melanie Cooke. Joel loved his family, his mom most of all.

Although Joel grew up in St. George he lived the last 26 years on Grand Manan. He could often be found playing his guitar and talking about music to anyone who would listen. Joel enjoyed documentaries and would chat knowledgeably about current events. He was kind and comical with a dry, sarcastic wit. He had a special place in his heart for seniors.

Joel’s death leaves a void in our lives and an ache in our hearts that will last until we meet again.

Arrangements in the care of the St. George Funeral Home (506-755-3533) 26 Portage Street, St. George NB. There will be no visitation. A private family funeral will be held at a later date. In Joel’s memory, donations to a charity of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family.
