John Cooper Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Humphrey Funeral Services, Inc. on Feb. 10, 2026.
John David Cooper, 82, of Russellville, died peacefully on Sunday, February 8, 2026. Following a private family committal in the Chapel of Light, cremation arrangements were entrusted to the J. Herman Humphrey Dignity Cremation Center under the direction of Humphrey Funeral Service.

John was born February 23, 1943, in Memphis, Tennessee, to John Flores and Helen (Joseph) Cooper. He married Uiliani D. (McCallum) Cooper on July 27, 1996, in Little Rock.

John was preceded by his parents. He is survived by his wife of 29 years, Uiliani.

John was retired from management in the banking industry, a career he loved and which afforded him the opportunity to travel throughout the world. Woodworking was one of his favorite things to do in life, spending many hours in his shop, and also serving alongside others in Nail-Benders for Jesus, building many church projects around the country. He and Uiliani worshipped with their faith family at Dover First Baptist Church.
