Reverend Cooper was born on January 24, 1934 in Wisner, Louisiana. He passed away on November 24, 2009 after a lengthy illness. Rev. Cooper graduated with a Master's Degree in Theology from the Pentecostal Bible Institute in Tupelo, Mississippi. He began his pastoral ministry by starting a home mission work in Red Bay, Alabama while on staff at PBI. He later served as Assistant Pastor to Rev. W.E. Fuller at the First United Pentecostal Church in Natchez, MS and concluded his ministry as founder and pastor of the First Pentecostal Church in Vidalia which he like to call: "The Church of What's Happening Now". He served in the United States Navy and was also a licensed Master Barber and Auctioneer
He was a man who loved Jesus and would share the message of God's love to anyone he came in contact with. He never met a stranger and would run into someone he knew everywhere he went. He had so much love and compassion to the human race and was always willing to do whatever he could to make someone's life better. He loved to read a newspaper and his Bible while enjoying a strong cup of coffee and was always available to preach a funeral, perform a wedding or dedicate a baby at a moment's notice.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Alpha ("Sis") Cooper, his brother, Rev. Travis ("Buddy") Cooper, two sisters, Estelle Boothe and Elaine Cooper, our precious half-sister Marlene Rogers Asbill and his special friend, Irene Parker, Vidalia, La. Survivors include, Sisters Katie Crain, Winnsboro, La., Maggie Roberts, Wisner, La., Doretta Boothe, Harrisonburg, La and Nobie Rowley and husband Darryl. Daughters, Delaine Self and Doana Cooper of Wisner, La., and Gracelyn Dilley and husband Erwin of Shreveport, La. Son-in-Law Steve Asbill. Grandchildren, David "Biggum" and wife Kelli and Dustin Self, all of Dallas, Texas, Wayne Mosley and wife Lucinda of Austin, Texas, Jessica Dodson and husband James of Llano, Texas, Courtland Dilley and his miracle namesake Cooper Dade Dilley of Shreveport, La. Great Grandchildren, Madison and Kaleb Dodson, Erin and Nate Mosley, and Ian "Lil Um" Self.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a love offering be made to First Pentecostal Church of Wisner in his memory.
