1973 – 2026
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Andrew, who passed away on Saturday November 7, 2026, at the age of 53.
Andrew will be lovingly remembered by his beloved wife, Jody, and his stepdaughter, Marissa Ramey. He will also be remembered by his mother, Diane Hebb Cook; his father, James Cook; his brother, Alan Cook, and sister-in-law, Crystal Cook; and his sister, Anne-Marie Cook.
He will also be deeply missed by his mother-in-law, Marie Ramey; his father-in-law, Wade Ramey, and Wade's wife, Mayola Oickle; and his sister-in-law, Teresa Ramey.
Andrew will also be deeply missed by his best friend, Chris Phillips. Andrew valued Chris's friendship immensely, and the bond they shared meant a great deal to him. One of their special memories was the two-week trip they took together back home to Nova Scotia in September, where Andrew had the opportunity to reconnect with friends and family and spend time with the people and places that meant so much to him.
Andrew was a dedicated and hardworking man who devoted more than 25 years of his life to the construction industry. His last position was as a Construction Lead at Bricon Construction, where he spent ten years. Bricon was much more than a workplace to Andrew; he considered the people part of his extended family. The friendships and relationships he built over those years meant a great deal to him.
Some of life's happiest memories were the adventures he shared with Jody. Their trips to Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California held a special place in his heart. Andrew was never happier than when he was laughing alongside the Disney characters, embracing the magic, fun and joy of those moments together.
Those memories, filled with laughter, love and happiness, will be treasured forever.
Andrew's passing leaves a profound sadness for those who loved him. He will be deeply missed, but the memories he created, the friendships he formed and the love he shared will remain with his family and friends always.
Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at Bricon Construction located 27 Manitou Drive, Unit 2G, Kitchener on Sat Nov 14 from 11am-2pm.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society in memory of Andrew are appreciated.
