Gavin COOKE Obituary

Passed away on December 23, 2023, at home. Aged 83 years. It is with extreme sadness to announce the death of my beloved husband and best friend Gavin. He gently went to sleep holding my hand with Coco snuggled up beside him. He was admired and an inspiration to all. A gentleman to the end. I will love him forever. Your everloving wife Diane xx There will be a Celebration of Gavin's life on February 2, at the Tasman Bay Cruising Club 1.30pm-4.30pm.

Thinking of you Diane with the loss of your beloved husband Gavin.
I worked for Gavin many years ago at the Glasskraft Boat Building Company in Blenheim Road.
Gavin was a fantastic person to work with during those years.
He supported my sporting career in that time being a major sponsor for my Softball Team representing Canterbury at the NZ Women´s Softball Club Tournament.
I know you will miss him dearly.
Treasure those awesome memories you created together.
Luv Sharon & Tony Constable & family

On behalf of Menzshed Nelson-Whakatu, we express our condolences on the loss of Gavin.
Many of us here knew him personally as a sailor as well as a club member, his memory will always be with us as a result of his significant contribution to the club of his boat-building machinery which is in use daily during our open hours.
Gavin was well-respected by all our members and will be missed.
We extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
