Kevin Cooper

I have already written in the memory book about the great impact Kevin has had on me. I just want the family to know that despite the passage of time, I still think of him often and especially when passing through St. George, like today. I pray that Kevin´s family has found some measure of peace. I wish there were more kids like Kevin in this world. Please know that he, nor your family is not forgotten. I live in Salt Lake City and if there is anything I could do to help, please reach out. I read his book again, and my heart still aches reading about all his plans for the future. God bless.

Read about your son. My condolences to you. Great inspiration to others. The world lost a great light.

We are so very sorry for your loss. What a brilliant light we have lost.

I talked to your mother about Kevin and how wonderful he was. I can already feel that he went around doing so much good. I am so excited to read his book. I hope you all find peace and know that he loves you.

I came across the articles of your loss of your son today. I am amazed and proud and so sorry for you! What an amazing young man. Ive ordered his book! My heart hurts but i am praying he's being rewarded in heaven for a life well lived

I can't tell you how deeply Kevin's story has touched me. I watched the videos of Kevin talking about the Veteran Administration's flawed housing assistance eligibility program and was in awe that I was listening to a 14yr old who is clearly so advanced beyond his years. The goodness and genuineness that radiated from him is so apparent. A boy who is so eager to help his family, help the environment, help his community all through self learning and hard work. What a rare gem Kevin is. I'm so sad that the world didn't get to see the potential achievements of this amazing boy. Although, I can honestly say, he achieved more in his short time here than most adults ever do. I didn't even know him and was moved to tears reading about his tragic accident. I can only imagine the loss your family is feeling. I have ordered his autobiography and hope that you can feel the love of total strangers like myself who didn't even know him, yet feel devastated that we lost such a bright light much too young. God bless you for raising such an amazing son.

I just listened to radio talk show host Kate Dalley tell the story of Kevin's life. It moved me to tears. I homeschooled my 7 children. I saw first had how much more valuable the experience was to our family. Your Kevin took it all the way. What a wonderful young man. I'm so sorry for losing him far, far, FAR too soon.

I was so inspired to read the article about your son and brother! What a sharp mind and thank goodness you fostered and helped him grow by supporting his genius! I am ordering his book on amazon and getting copies for my kids as well (all adults now) for Christmas as well. When we put our time, talent, energy and efforts into good things lives are blessed! Kevin certainly blessed and his example will continue to bless many. May you feel the love of our Heavenly Father and His son during this difficult time.

Dear Family of Kevin Cooper, I read the article on your son and am so amazed at all your son accomplished in his short life. I truly believe he would have changed the world with his brilliant mind. I send my prayers and sincerest condolences to you all. I believe Kevin is looking after you all from Heaven while he's talking to God. Bless you all.

I just finished reading Daryl Gibson's article on Kevin, "America´s most remarkable kid died in Newcastle, Utah - his legacy never will". And I have to agree, what Kevin accomplished in his short life was amazing. It's such a loss for his family and society. I wish I could have met him. Rest in peace Kevin, your story and what you accomplished in 14 years is a standard we should all strive to achieve.

I am deeply moved by your son's accomplishments and zest to help your family and goodness. I am also very saddened by his loss of life. Losing a son is not something that any of us should have to endure. Please know that my sincere sorrow and hope you a better future for you all is real! God Bless you family.

An inspirational life ended too soon!

We in Ironwood, MI are so sorry for the loss of an incredibly bright light.

We want to honor the life and legacy of Kevin by naming an early learning center after him. We would also like to make sure "Don't tell me I can't" is a motto that parents and children walk in and see as they enter the learning center.
If you are able and willing, please contact me.

Love and peace be with you during these devastating times.
