Carson James Cooper, born December 1, 2006, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, October 27, 2025, in Liberty Township, Ohio, at the young age of 18.
Carson is survived by his mother, Raquel, stepfather, Alex Campbell, and cherished sisters, Kennedy and Karleigh; his father, Chad, and Gina Cooper, brother, Wesley, and sister, Andi; grandfather, Ron Wetherell, and grandmother, Margaret Lampe; and grandparents, Mary and James Cooper. He is also survived by his aunts, Roxie (Doug) Burton, Robin Everett, Dana (Kevin) Heller, Bee Wetherell, and Patti West, and his uncle, Ronnie Wetherell. Carson was preceded in death by his beloved grandmother, Lynda Wetherell, uncle, Bill Everett, and aunt, Mary Ann Randolph. Carson leaves behind many cousins and countless friends.
He will be remembered as a charming, determined, humorous and heartfelt soul, known for his mischievous nature and perfectly inappropriate sense of humor. Despite his playful side, Carson led with a truly big heart for his family and friends. Carson was strong and ever-resilient, working tirelessly through every challenge he faced. He always strove to maintain strength and optimism, no matter the hardship. His happiest times were often spent boating and fishing with his Grandpa Wetherell and Uncle Ronnie, along with having his morning “Granny coffee.” He also loved listening to music, watching sports, being outdoors, and simply spending time with his beloved family and friends.
Carson will never be far from the hearts or memory of those whose lives he touched during his all too short time in this world. The family wishes to thank their colleagues from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and the Fairfield Fire Department, along with countless friends and family members near and far, for the outpouring of care and support during this difficult time.
