Joseph Ferrante-Cook passed away on December 7, 2025, at the age of 43. He is survived by his three daughters: Josephine Ferrante-Cook (13), Andrea Ferrante-Cook (18), and Brianna Ferrante-Cook (20). He is also survived by his father, Richard Tarkin; his stepmother, Leslie Tarkin; and his sister, Alexandria Martinez. Mr. Ferrante-Cook was preceded in death by his mother, Marie Ferrante; his stepfather, John Cook; and his grandparents.
In his spare time, he enjoyed caring for his various pets—including lizards and fish—listening to The Grateful Dead and playing Magic the Gathering with friends.
He always had a knack for making others laugh, and you could usually find him with his dog Snickers by his side.
