Larry Lee Cooper

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many mansions: If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself: that where I am, there ye may be also.”  John 14: 1-4

A time to be born:  On Wednesday, June 7, 1961, God saw fit to bless the late James and Annie Copper with a little boy they named Larry Lee Cooper. Larry was the 7th of 10 children born to the couple. 

A time to serve:  Larry attended Benton Harbor Area Schools and was a member of the class of 1979.

Larry worked at various factories in Berrien County. His last employer was Triax, located in Berrien Springs, MI where he worked until his health failed.

Some of Larry’s favorite pastimes were, dancing, listening to music and playing Spades or Tunk.  At times, during family functions, Larry would perform his signature dance he called the “Leaping Larry”.

During his life, Larry attended several churches in the area. Most recently, he attended Martin Temple COGIC under the leadership of Elder Phlander Martin.

In the early 90’s, Larry met Pam Dortch.  On June 21, 2003, the couple stood before God, family and friends and united in holy matrimony.

Larry was the father of 5 children.  Sons– Carl Gary, Ezekeil Cooper, Oshay Cooper & Willie Walker and daughter-Lisa Cooper and the grandfather of 17.
