Bloyce Eugene Cook Sr.

Bloyce Eugene Cook, Sr, better known as Eugene, was born on September 23, 1943, and went to be with the Lord on November 10, 2026. He lived a life marked by faith, courage, and service.

For 45 years, Eugene served the Augusta community as a firefighter. He began his career in 1970 and retired in 2015 as a fire captain. When people needed help, Eugene was willing to go where others might hesitate. Throughout his career, he entered many burning buildings and helped save countless lives.

Eugene was a longtime member of The Hill Baptist Church. There he faithfully served as an usher and later as chairman of the Property and Space Committee, where he was dedicated to the care and maintenance of the church building and grounds.

Some of Eugene's fondest church memories were made at the barbecue pit with his best buddy, Ernest Murphy. Together, they enjoyed cooking barbecue for the church's Fourth of July celebration, a tradition Eugene cherished.

Eugene was an avid baseball fan and treasured the time he spent at the GreenJackets ball field with his son, Michael Dean.

Those who knew Eugene knew he was never afraid to speak his mind. But those fortunate enough to call him a friend also knew the depth of his love, care, and devotion.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Jaydean Cook; his close friends, Ernest Murphy; Lester Schlein, and Edwin Blanchard, his brothers, Walter E. Cook and Robert Cook; and his parents, Allene Cheney Cook and Bloyce Cook.

He is survived by his sons, Michael Dean Cook and Bloyce Eugene Cook, Jr.; his cousins, Miller Meyer and John Meyer, and the many dear friends from The Hill Baptist Church.

Eugene will be deeply missed by his family, his church family, his fellow firefighters, and the many friends whose lives he touched.

A memorial service will be held at The Hill Baptist Church at 2165 Kings Way Augusta, Georgia 30904 on Sunday, November 15, 2026 at 2:00 PM.

A graveside service will follow at Piney Grove Cemetery at 5060 Mike Padgett Hwy Augusta, Georgia 30906.
