Glen David Rook, 73

Glen David Rook, a man of God. Born February 19, 1952, to James D. and B. Juanell Rook in Silver City, New Mexico; died February 12, 2026, in Mt. Home, Arkansas from complications of bone marrow cancer with his wife of 51 years by his side.

David is preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, including one double-first. He is survived by his wife Karoline Ann of Bruno, Arkansas, his daughter, Karoline Denise Patterson of Emmet, Arkansas, grandson Blake R. Rook of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Two sisters, Rhonda C. Baldridge of Bryant, Arkansas and Rita K. Reed (John) of Benton, Arkansas. Also left to cherish his memory are many nieces, nephews, and cousins, each very special to his heart.

Most of all, David loved the Lord Jesus Christ. Family was very important as well, celebrating each gathering with anticipation and excitement. He came from a hard-working heritage that after the work was finished, they also played hard. The domino table was a joyfully noisy place.

David Rook never met a stranger and touched the lives of many. He will be missed by those who truly knew him. We know he rests in Heaven with his Loving Father waiting to greet those who will follow.
