David "Bo" Cooper Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 13, 2024.
Bo passed away peacefully after a short but brave fight against a rare form of kidney cancer. He was the epitome of grace and strength in life and in death.

Bo Cooper's passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew him. His kindness knew no limits and had the gift of making others feel special. He invested time in his friendships and if he loved you, he made sure you knew it.

As a Dentist, he was the heart and soul of Cooper Dentistry. Dr. Cooper took pride in not only providing exceptional dental care but also forming meaningful relationships with his patients and his staff. His dedication to his practice and genuine care for others will long be remembered in the Dunwoody community.

Bo was a lifelong Mississippi State Bulldogs fan. He took great pride in both David and Caroline attending his alma mater. His passion for his team was unwavering and in 2019 bought a game day house in "The District", which he generously shared with friends and family. Bo planned to spend more time in his beloved "Stark Vegas" once he retired from Dentistry.

Bo's love for sports was only matched by the love he had for the people in his life. He used sports as a parameter to connect with other parents. He proudly served on the Marist Booster Club Board for four years and as president for two. He was one of first to arrive at Marist tailgates and hated to be late! He looked forward to Friday night football and the fanfare, family and friends that came with it!

Bo was a lifelong golfer. Although an accident at age 19 left him an amputee, he never let that stop him from enjoying the game he loved. He enjoyed playing at Dunwoody Country Club with his beloved Sunday Golf Group. He looked forward with great anticipation each year to the annual "Hacking Dogs Invitational" - an eclectic group of longtime friends and golfers.

Bo's family meant everything to him. Bo loved his wife and kids beyond measure. He was a dedicated husband and father, and his children knew without a doubt how much he loved them.

Bo's nephew sent this quote, and we believe it suits him perfectly.

"Heroes get remembered; Legends never die." Bo was our Hero during his time on earth, but his legacy will live on in lives of the people he touched.

Dr. Cooper is survived by his wife of 29 years, Laura Cooper; son, David Cooper, Jr.; daughter, Caroline Cooper; brother and sister-in-law, Dr. Charles and Elizabeth Cooper; sister and brother-in-law, Catherine and Billy Dunn; and nieces and nephews, Chandler and Lawson Cooper, Clayton and Cooper Dunn.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his name to Wounded Warrior Project. A Funeral Mass was held on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, at 3 o'clock at All Saints Catholic Church, 2443 Mount Vernon Rd, Dunwoody, GA 30338. A reception followed at the home of Sherry & Peter Strott.
