On December 5, 2010, he was united in marriage to Olivia Mallory Bolton. Mr. Cooper was employed by the J.I. Case Co. until starting his own trucking company. He was a member of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church. He was an avid fisherman, enjoyed playing the guitar, and was famous for telling jokes and his tall tales. He also loved playing bingo with his friends at Fountain Hills Apartments. He was a kind hearted man that loved to spread joy and make people laugh.
