Zach was truly an outdoorsman any opportunity to immerse himself in nature was where he was most himself. In his spare time he honed his marksmanship skills, was an advocate for firearm safety, and baked a mean cornbread. Zach had a quick wit and a disarming sense of humor that could talk him into or out of trouble with startling speed. He loved to tell stories of his unique assignments, and frequently chose jobs with an air of intrigue. It was on one of those mornings when he met the 'prettiest girl at the farmers market' the woman he would ultimately marry.Īmongst harvest seasons Zach attended Las Cruces High School, lighting up the stage with his brilliant mischievous smile in performance choir and graduating in 2008 shortly following the birth of his eldest child, Jesse.Īn independent soul with an appetite for excitement Zach became an armed security guard by trade. He became a fixture at the Las Cruces Farmers Market where he started dispensing samples at the family stand as soon as he could walk, and would continue to sell produce for the remainder of his life. Zach (a proud Texan) spent his early childhood on the Cook family farm in Laborcita Canyon, picking apples, exploring nature, and tending to the animals he so enjoyed. The technicality of his Texan status made for frequent conversation within his multi-generational New Mexican family.

Zachary Tyler Cook was born in El Paso, TX on November 03, 1989.
