Paul John Hook

Paul John Hook was born on February 24, 1962 in Spokane, Wash. He loved his family with all of his heart. He was sweet, faithful and dependable. Paul had an excellent work ethic and he instilled that value into his children.

He was an uncomplicated man who didn’t have many wants or needs. He found joy and contentment in everyday activities like watching movies in the comfort of his home, telling stories followed with his delightful laughter, working in the yard, eating pizza, and the cherished time spent with their two fur babies.

Paul had a genuine passion for anything that was made out of wood. He loved to be out in the woods. He worked in the sawmill for most of his life and he did not shy away from difficult tasks.

One of Paul’s favorite outings was going for drives. He always knew where he was and never ceased to amaze his family when he reached his intended destination. Even when his family was certain that they were lost, he would always find his way back.

On May 7, 2025, Paul entered into his rest in Loon Lake, Wash. He was preceded in death by his son, Paul Hook, his parents, Lois and Pete Hook, his brothers; Jim Hook and Merv Hook, his sisters; Kathy Murphy, Susan Kimbell, Judy Phillips and Linda Christensen and his nephew Brett Murphy.

Paul is survived by his beloved wife, Jeannie Hook, of Loon Lake, Wash., his son Travis Hook, of Warrensburg Mo., his daughter, Chantilly Hook of Billings, Mont., seven grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

He was a wonderful man. His memory will live on in our hearts and through our love. We will miss him always.
