On Sunday, July 4, 2021, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) PestVets Council’s motioned to rename the PestVet of the Year Award to “The David Cooksey PestVet of the Year of the Award” became effective.


“The PestVets Council is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of David Cooksey. He was an incredible member of the PestVets Council, family man, and human being. He will be greatly missed,” said Jake Plevelich, the NPMA PestVets Council’s Staff Liaison. “Every member of the Council unanimously supported re-naming the award after David because he embodied the values of military service, the PestVets Council, and the criteria to win the Award itself. He was an amazing person that stood for values that we should all strive to embody.”


FMC, sponsor of PestVets will deliver the first David Cooksey PestVet of the Year Award at NPMA Legislative Day 2022 in Washington, DC.
