Charles (Wayne) Cook, 47, resident of Slidell, LA, passed away on January 20, 
2016.  

Wayne was born in Atlanta, son of the late Robert B. Cook and Diane Chapman, 
step-son of Kenneth Chapman, younger brother of Bobby Cook.  He graduated from 
Redan High School, and spent four years proudly serving in the Army. 
Wayne then began a career as a custom cabinet builder. 

In 1996, Wayne married first wife Regina Shelton, and in 1998 they had his only 
son, Charles Wayne Cook, Jr (CJ).  Wayne was very proud of CJ, graduating this 
year from Winder-Barrow High School.  He was a member of the football team and 
of the JROTC.

In 2004, Wayne married Linda Mulhall.  They met in a bowling alley – she 
attracted to Wayne because of his fun-loving spirit.  Their wedding cake 
proclaimed their unique and passionate love: “I Love You Dammit.”  This phrase 
was spoken to one another every day.  Marrying Linda, Wayne also gained a step-
son in Chris Mulhall, now a student a Georgia Perimeter College pursuing a 
career in the military or the field of criminal justice.

Wayne is also survived by sister-in-law Teri Cook, ex-sister-in-law Sabrina 
Cook, and four lovely nieces: Ashley, Skyler, Hailee, and Emily. And three dogs 
and a cat he absolutely adored: Gizmo, Gilbey, Mardi, and Tobi.

Wayne will be remembered as an outgoing, fun-loving family man who lived life 
to the fullest.  He wore his big, sensitive heart on his sleeve and made an 
impression on all who met him. 

The family will hold a private memorial service in Wayne’s home state of 
Georgia.  In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made to Slidell 
Animal Control (2700 Terrace Ave., Slidell, LA 70458) or a no-kill animal 
shelter of their choice.  The family will also accept assistance for expenses 
address the envelope via mail to: First Castle Federal Credit Union, Reference: 
17900 – Cook, 1402 Gause Blvd. Suite D4, Slidell, Louisiana 70458
