The Team
President/Founder
Hello and Welcome! My name is David Cook. If you have made it here I hope you take the time to read about us, ask us questions, and support our cause! I would have never made it here without support, I know it takes a village and we would love to have you apart of that village! I am a father to my 18yr old son Dryden, who currently works underneath me serving my customers with DC Industrial Services. I am an outside sales rep for AlphaGraphics in beaumont, Texas, serving SETX with marketing materials and more. Lastly, any time I have is poured into Ray of Hope & Life and Allied Counseling Rehab Services, where we service counties from SETX, Tyler, Galveston, and polk county. My passion is finding a solution to the problem, no matter what I take on!
Randy "Ray" Jones
1985-2014
I dedicate ROHL & my 501C3 Non Profit "ROHL Rays Hope, Inc" to my brother in law Randy Ray Jones who we lost to suicide in June of 2014. Ray was a loving soul with a heart of pure love for anyone and everyone. He was a father, son, brother, and so much more. He never let a opportunity for tears or sadness to be a part of you for to long, always had the right words to heal you and help your situation. Over the years I have had so many reach out an share their stories with me, not once would anyone have anything negative to say even when they disagreed. He was always a listener, always willing to help others, and loved by strangers who soon became friends. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. My mission is not to change the world but break the cycle that we can overcome our battles with the support of others and its okay not to do it alone. It takes a village, sometimes. I have no doubt Ray would be proud of everyone here that we are supporting the things that himself dealt with even as a child into his adulthood.
