Obituary of Charles "Chuck" Lawrence Cook

In Loving Memory of Charles “Chuck” Lawrence Cook March 4, 1954 - July 5, 2022

Charles “Chuck” Lawrence Cook, age 68, of Kingsport passed away on July 5, 2022 due to several health issues. He died peacefully in the comfort of his home early Tuesday morning. Chuck grew up in Kingsport and lived there his entire life. He made friends easy and enjoyed spending time with them. Chuck will always be remembered for his sense of humor and being the life of the party. He enjoyed sharing stories about his dog (Milky), his grandkids and his love for food. He was a great cook and took pleasure in cooking for friends and family.

He retired from driving a semi-truck, which he did for many years. He saw most of the country during his career as a truck driver, where he had a favorite restaurant in every city he visited. Prior to that he worked on cars, which was a passion for him.

He will be remembered and missed by his family and friends: Chuck is survived by his daughter: Brandy Schoverling and husband Seth; grandchildren: Joshua, Jacob (wife Chanley), Joseph, & Brady; great-grandchildren: Harrison, Scarlett, & Lynnea; sister: Una McConnell; along with many family and friends.

Chuck was predeceased in death by his parents: W.R. and Ibbie Cook; sisters: Neida Hammonds and Carolyn Greer.

A graveside service will be held at 2:00 PM on Sunday, July 10th, 2022 at Oak Hill Memorial Park with Pastor Wayne Baker officiating. Everyone is invited to come and share their favorite story of Chuck and have one more laugh with him. Those wishing to attend are asked to meet at the cemetery by 1:50 PM.
