With heavy sad hearts and drained emotions, we let heaven have one of our most precious possessions, Cooper Willard Morgan. Anyone lucky enough to meet Cooper liked him. Everyone fortunate enough to know Cooper loved him. He not only touched us with his kind compassionate heart, but he changed us by his example. Thank you Coop! Even at his young age of 14, he was a true gentleman.
Cooper lived through some trying times after losing his father, Joe Morgan, when he was just 2 ½ years old. Fortunately for Cooper and his beautiful sisters, Natalie and BelleJoe, his mother, JoLin, found them another good father, Daniel Lindsay. When "Danny Boy" joined their family, he brought a third beautiful sister into Cooper's life. Just like her older sisters, Sydney loved and idolized Cooper because of hi warm hearted attention and endless patience. Because of Danny Boy, Cooper will enter heaven knowing how to fish, hunt, dirt bike, snow machine, razr ride and work on trucks. This would include the rat rod: international - Chevy – Dodge - etc. pickup that they were building. And yes, it even has Cooper tires.
Cooper also loved the occasional mountain ride when he needed some fresh air and a break from the trials of life and his three sisters. He would call his Grandma Jenny who was always eager to take him because of her love of the mountains and her own need for Cooper therapy. When they were together, mother nature would always put on quite the show. Easily proven by all the pictures they've taken.
One of Coopers goals was to be in a picture on his uncle BJ's hunting wall. After coyote hunting and bagging a buck last year, Cooper accomplished his goal.
Cooper's personality was so colorful that it came out in the clothes that he preferred to wear. Shorts and happy socks. Anything crazy like the flamingo socks he wore to his eighth-grade graduation. In honor of Cooper and his love of happy socks, please feel free to wear your own example at Saturday's services. Don't be afraid to show them off. He wasn't!
We will all miss him more than we can ever know, including his little four-legged buddy, Cozmo. His impact on us will carry on forever. Just knowing him should help you understand that he was just too good for this world. Goodbye for now Coop, we know you will be with us on all of our adventures, so wear you happy socks.
