Clint Fritz Cooper, 46, of Etowah, Tennessee, passed away unexpectedly after a brief illness on January 4, 2026.

Clint was the beloved son of Bev and Fred Cooper and the absolute LOVE of their hearts. He was a strong, handsome Christian man with a kind and gentle spirit. Clint had a warmhearted soul, a long fuse, and could tell a story like no other - the kind that made you stop and listen.

With a strong, talented background in illustration, Clint loved art and creativity and found joy in expressing himself through his work. He saw the world with imagination and depth, and he shared that gift freely with those around him.

"We will miss you, Bud," his mom and dad say, with all the LOVE in their hearts.

There will be no visitation or formal service at this time.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the McMinn Regional Humane Society in Clint's memory by following this link: https://mrhumane.org/clubs/mcminn-humane-society/pages/donate_

Companion Funeral Home of Athens, TN and the Cody family are honored to assist the Cooper's during their time of great loss. We welcome friends and family to leave their condolences and share memories of Clint on his online memorial at www.companionfunerals.com
