Ronald Morris Rook

Ronald Morris Rook, 72, of Huntington passed away Thursday, March 16, 2023 at his residence, where he had resided for the past 30 years after marrying his wife Anola. He was born April 25, 1950 in Lufkin, Texas to the late Fred and Earline (Ivory) Rook. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Carroway Funeral Home.

Ronnie traveled around the world when he was a welder in the oilfield. He was a self-employed truck driver and owned multiple businesses. He loved his Peterbilt trucks.

To say that he watched lots and lots of TV is an understatement. He could watch the same western twice in one day. Ronnie enjoyed fishing and always talked about buying another Harley. He took great pride in his yard. He loved his kids, grandkids, and great-grandbaby. He always wanted to make everyone laugh.

Ronnie loved Jesus Christ and had many stories to tell about Sunday school and church camp when he was a little boy. He was a member of Oak Flat Baptist Church.

Survivors include his wife, Anola Rook of Huntington; son, Tracy Rook and wife Amanda of Huntington; daughter, Torri Adams and husband Scott of Lufkin; son, Kris Forrest and wife Jennifer of Douglass; grandchildren, Lillian Rook, Chesney Culver and husband Michael, Nichole Forrest, Tanner Adams, and Carter Forrest; great-grandchild, Alex Culver; mother-in-law, Cora Sue Stone; and a number of nieces, nephews and other relatives.

He was preceded in death by his parents; grandparents, Lawrence and Florence McCarrick; sisters, Teresa Youngblood and Sharon Tullis; and father-in-law, Billy Stone.
