He is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 70 years, Geraldine Cooper (née Holup) of Swoyersville, PA. Together, they built a life rooted in enduring love and deep commitment to family and Christ.
Jerrod is also survived by his son, Jerrod B. Cooper Jr. (Lisa), and was preceded in death by his daughter, Sheryl A. Landis, as well as his siblings Virginia, Robert, and Raymond. Among his many roles, he took special joy in helping raise his great-grandson, DJ Landis.
