A community comes together for family of murder victim

Posted: Updated:

The body of 29 year old Daniel Cook was found near his Laurel Fork home nearly a month ago.  Just one day later, police arrested Greg Justice and charged him with murder. 

On Saturday, the community where Cook lived came together to rally around his family.  Leeann Brown is one of the chief organizers of a series of fundraisers all in the name of Daniel Cook.

Because of a disability, Cook was unable to work.  He rode his bike everywhere he went.

"For 29 years you see someone riding their bike through the area, he becomes a fixture of the community," said Brown.

The money raised from this fundraiser goes straight to the Cook family.

Organizers say a charity bike ride is in the works for Sunday.
