Mrs. Cooper, Brian, Eja, Josh, Cassie, and Amy I can not tell you how much his loss affects me. He had such an impact on my life, he helped me and Nina through some rough times and was always there when needed. He was the real deal he lived what he preached and was honest and sincere, a good role model for any one to follow. Heaven has been made more special by his presence. I love you all dearly and you are in my thoghts and prayers

Derrell and I met Pastor Cooper while visiting our dear friends, Ed and Cheryl Smith and attending services at Bethel. He always made us feel very welcome at the church services and we felt that he was a true servant of the Lord and always enjoyed his messages. We have not had a chance to visit in a while, but our prayers go out to his family, and his church family. He will be certainly missed by all who knew him. He has fought the good fight and is now rejoicing with the Angels in...
