Arthur Greysteel Hooper

Dad was an amazing father and a devoted husband who showed us what love looks like through his actions. He was our steady anchor, our quiet strength, and always our biggest supporter.

My dad was a man of faith and unwavering character. He taught our family the value of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and made sure we were in church every Sunday and choir every Wednesday. His faith wasn´t just words-it was a way of life, and it shaped who I am today.

Dad believed in giving back and serving others. He showed me that true greatness comes from humility and helping those around you. He introduced me to the importance of building character and appreciating the beauty of nature through summer camping trips to Shady Lake, Arkansas. We also shared countless spring canoe trips to the Buffalo River, where I fell in love with the Ozark Mountains and the Buffalo National River.
He taught me the importance of developing a strong work ethic-doing things the right way, never taking shortcuts, and always standing by your  word.

Dad was a man who kept his promises and was always ready to lend a helping hand-to neighbors, family, and friends. His life was a living example of integrity, kindness, and service.

One of my favorite memories goes back to when I was young. Normally, we´d play catch before dinner, but one day was different. Dad took me into his workshop and showed me a stack of flyers he had created for me-with a man pushing a lawn mower and our home phone number printed on them. I still remember that number to this day: 318-861-2394. He said, "Jeff, I want you to put these flyers on every house in a three-block radius." He handed me rubber bands and encouraged me to start the next day after school. That moment wasn´t just about mowing lawns-it was about teaching me responsibility, initiative, and the value of hard work. It´s a lesson that has stayed with me my entire life and helped mold me into the man I am today.

Dad, there are not enough words to describe the positive impact you had on me, our family, and the Shreveport community. Thank you for everything-for your faith, your love, and your guidance. We will carry your values forward and honor you in the way we live our lives. Your legacy lives in us, and we promise to keep your light shining. We love you, and we will miss you always.

My condolences to Hooper Family. Grady was an excellent athelete. We participated in many events, running and cycling. My condolences to Deloris, we worked together for many years at ATT. The Hooper Family is special.

I´m so so sorry to hear of Mr Hooper´s passing. Growing up on Norwood was a blast with all the neighborhood kids and all of our parents being close friends. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
