"Bubba" Leonard Cook, 47, of Blytheville, went to be with our Lord, Thursday March 27, 2014, at Great River Medical Center. He was born April 29, 1966, in Blytheville.

He was a transmission mechanic. Bubba loved the outdoors, fishing and spending time with family and friends. He would do anything he could for you.

Survivors include his son, Thaxton Cook; and his daughter, Jessica Cook, both of Russellville, Ala.; one brother, Roger Parish and his wife Patty of Dixon Mo; four sisters, Debbie Perkins and her husband Daniel of Cabot, Susie Minyard and her husband Charles of Blytheville, Kay Emerson of Blytheville, and Ann Bachuss of Russellville; 15 nieces and nephews, 16 great-nieces and nephews, five great-great-nieces and nephews; and a host of aunts, uncles and cousins.

Bubba also leaves behind a host of life time friends, and a very special life long friend, "his honey," Michael Cole of Blytheville.
