Fans across the world are mourning the loss of Jeff Cook, the founding guitarist and harmony singer of legendary country band Alabama, who passed away after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. In a moment as intimate as it was heartbreaking, Jeff took his final breath beside his beloved wife, Lisa, at the home they had shared for 27 years — a breathtaking mountain castle they once called their forever sanctuary.
For Jeff and Lisa, that home wasn’t just a house — it was a refuge. A place of peace, prayer, and quiet strength through the hardest times. Overlooking the Tennessee River, the castle became their private world — far from the spotlight, yet filled with love, music, and memories. And it was there, in the arms of the woman who had stood beside him through it all, that Jeff Cook said his final goodbye.
Lisa remained by his side until the very end, holding his hand, whispering memories, and praying softly as his journey came to a close. “He was my heart,” she shared in a private message. “And I was his. I’m grateful God gave me the chance to walk him home.”
Jeff’s passing marks the end of an era for country music — but his spirit, and the harmony he brought to generations of fans, will never be forgotten.
