Benjamin Wesley "Ben" Cooke, 24, of Warrenton was taken suddenly from his loving family and countless friends on Thursday, April 10, 2008, at Fort Shafter, Hawaii, while proudly serving his country in the U.S. Army.
Ben was born Sept. 6, 1983, to his devoted mother, Valerie Fortney, and his father, Charles W. Cooke. Ben was a 2001 graduate of Chancellor High School and captain of the Chargers football team.
At his core, Ben was a country boy, most content on the Cooke family farm in Warrenton. Music constantly surrounded Ben, whether as a listener or a musician strumming a song on his guitar. Before joining the Army, Ben''s "uniform" was most often a baseball cap and a Hawaiian shirt. His large stature belied a gentle demeanor--Ben lived his life with a fierce intensity, a uniquely human vulnerability, and always with a touch of hilarity.
