Cooper was born Sunday, January 23, 2022, to loving parents Kevin and Vicki. Cooper was full of life and exuded joy. He had a contagious laugh and a mega-watt smile. He loved the things most of us take for granted—cars, school buses, firetrucks, dinosaurs, bubbles, running water. He loved playing hide and seek, eating yogurt bites, and getting into mischief with his sister and partner in crime, Olivia. He danced to any music that was playing and was often the leader of his family dance parties in the kitchen after dinner. Cooper was a bright light and was destined to be a huge personality.

Cooper is survived by his parents, Kevin and Vicki and his sister, Olivia; his grandparents, Kevin and Carol VanHook, Bill and Robyn Ragsdale; as well as a host of other family members who love and will miss him dearly.

Please consider donating to your local Ronald McDonald House, your local Children’s Hospital, or the Kawasaki Disease Foundation in Cooper’s honor.
