Mr. Cooper, I will miss that smiling face and that wonderful laugh i have been privileged to hear almost every morning for the last eight years! You were a great co-worked and an even better friend. I don't want you to worry about those kittens that were left in the men's room, i will take care of them (haha). Take care of those angel wings my friend, you only get one pair.

King was a wonderful man. Funny and sweet. Loyal and helpful. He was always there with a smile, a joke, a helping hand, and hug. It takes a special person to touch so many lives and King was just that kind of guy. He is missed.

King Jr. will be greatly missed by his family and friends. The Lord called; he had to go. Why? ... Someday we'll know.
So much fun! You will be missed! Love you King!

Hey King.. it was such a shock to hear of your passing. Only not too long ago we were sharing a dance and some giggles. I will miss your laughter and the compliments. You were very easy on my tender ego. My self esteem was always boosted when you were around. Thank you so much for that. Im so grateful you included me into your circle of friends. Love you..and shake em up when you get there.

You will be missed. I rememeber King from Jr high and High School. My home on upper Brown Point had all the kids come. While I lived their my son Gene always had the boys over to play pool and make friends. I always had a new exchange student that they liked. I do beleive Christian from Norway went to Staidum with him. (We are having a party in Germany this summer so will pass the news on) He will be missed by all his family, friends and coworkers. God bless the family. Clara Strode Gene's Mother.

We shared great times in high school together buddy. Enough, that when I would see you from time to time, around town,as time passed, we would share a handshake, a hug, and in your words, "Great to see You my Friend". Always loved to see You My Old Friend. I will miss you.

King, Words cannot express how much you are missed in our house the shock, the sadness and the grief of how we are going to go on without you is unimaginable. You started off being the inspector on one of our jobs years ago and ended being the best of friends, you will never know how much we love and miss you, we miss hearing the outlandish jokes you would tell no matter how nasty they were and how you would laugh and laugh and laugh. There wasn't a day that went by that Sam wouldn't come home from work and say “Listen to the joke King told me today” or “Damn that King got me good today”, he misses you so much it hurts I hope you realized how much you meant to him to all of us, the friendship you guys build on this last job was one for the records books you helped him laugh again and I love you for that. He misses you driving your little blue truck in our driveway everyday for a smoke brake with the latest news, watching you get out of your truck and changing your shoes when you got onto the job (we know how they couldn't be dirty), you wearing your City of Bonney Lake jacket, the way you would shake your head and only Sam knew exactly what you where thinking on the Ponderosa job, the smart ass remarks on our Facebook pages that made us laugh till we peed and shaking your hand. Sam will never forget the last time he shook your hand and the heart to heart you had the day before it all makes since now. You mean the world to us Mr. Cooper we will never forget you, A&A Excavating would have never been the same without you, because of you we laid more pipe in the City of Bonney Lake than any other city (I know you would have turned this into a joke:), thank you for making that possible. We will be watching for a sign from you every single day, King I know you are Ok where you are but what I don't know is how we will be OK without you.

Oh how I miss your face every day at work! You were not just a coworker to me but a great friend. King took care of us ladies at work even if it was take my recycling out, carry the heavy boxes, run to City Hall for me, always, always answered your phone for the job not matter what time of the day. You worked hard, held your contractor accountable and no matter if I gave you a hard time or not you always did whatever was asked of you with determination. Your contractors respected you!
As my friend you were a great listening ear (when you could get him to sit or stand long enough :O)) and always had an interesting perspective on things. You made us laugh and smile and your "Good Morning Ladies" every day and always asked how you were doing. I will miss most your AWESOME laugh and how it resonated a room that would put a smile on all that heard!
Go in Peace my friend you will be greatly missed! Words cannot express the loss you are to our lives!

This is such a huge loss for so many! King Cooper opened up his circle of Friends & Family to both John Paul and I. Everything he greeted me it was with a side hug and he would kiss me on my forehead. It was the sweetest gesture. King is one of the most giving, funny, crazy and goofy men I have ever met. One thing he showed to us time and time again was how to Love, Live and Laugh until it hurts! Gonna miss the socks out of you dear friend, King Cooper! May you watch over us and help guide us when we need it. Love You, Forever and Ever! Peace to All

King was not only a co-worker but a true friend, he was the type of a guy who would give you the shirt off his back. He will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

King,
Thank you my friend for sharing our time together. When the sum of a persons life is boiled down to the few sentences allow, the best summary of your life is that "King REALLY lived!".

King always greeted me with a smile and was fun to chat with at our city functions. I could always count on him to make sure projects were completed efficiently. King worked hard for the city, developed many friendships and was well regarded by his colleagues.
He will be missed.

King,
You will be deeply missed it was an honor to know you and I could count on you for anything. The boys club will be lost without you. Joe will be waiting for you and the start of the football season and now both of you can sit back and watch the Huskies with the cold beer ready to go.

King was a friend of my son Jim. They were both from the Browns Point / Dash Point area where almost all the kids knew all the other kids. He was a special type of guy. One who not only cared for his Country, but put his life on the line by serving it. Something everyone in America should thank him for. Thank you King.
I wanted to share a little story about King that showed what kind of heart he had. A few years ago King and Jim and some other friends were getting together for some friends time. They were meeting over by U.P.S. (the school) and Jim accidently ran into the back of Kings big shiny bumber on his truck and put a fairly nice dent in it. King kept his truck in nice shape. Now most people, even friends, start talking about insurance, getting it fixed etc. etc., which is normal. After all someone with a nice vehicle likes to keep it that way. But what did King do? He said, Jim, forget about it. It's no big deal. I'm not sure if anything ever came of it but I don't think so. He was forgiving and gracious, something you don't see much of anymore. When I think of King, this story always comes to mind. What a guy. King, indeed, your friends are going to miss you alot. But all the special memories you've made with them, and a lot of people that you don't know, will bless them the rest of their lives. May God bless you for eternity.

First, thank you for King's service to his country. We are so sorry to hear of his passing at such a young age. So glad he was able to attend our family get-together last year. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for being such a good friend! Thank you for always being someone I looked forward to seeing because I knew I was going to get a big hug, some flirty "compliment", and your laugh! Thank you for being you, and leaving such great memories behind. You are missed and will always be missed King Cooper. Now leaving my camera laying around unattended will no longer be fun or adventuresome. And our Apple Cups will never ever be the same now. You changed our lives while you were here and now you've changed our lives by having to leave us. I love you dearly my friend!!!
So sorry to the family. Keeping you all close in heart & prayers. Much love to you.
