Bryant Thomas Cooper

November 27, 2016

Bryant “Coop” Cooper, 19, of Jay, died Friday, November 25, 2016, in the Children’s Hospital of Sacred Heart in Pensacola.

He was a Georgia peach born February 23, 1997 at Henry General Hospital in McDonough, GA. Bratt would eventually become his home where he knew everyone’s name.

Bryant was chosen Monday, October 27, 2014, to drop everything he knew about the world he lived in and the life he loved so dearly, to go on a journey many experience, but only few understand-especially for children.

Bryant fought Stage 4 Neuroendocrine cancer bravely, compassionately and unselfishly with so many other children who were in the same fight, just a different name.

Bryant absolutely loved deer hunting, fishing, hog hunting and mud riding. He loved his truck and especially after cancer, he spent a lot of time riding back wood dirt roads. He could ride for hours. He loved Alabama football, just not as much as his dad or brother.

His friends were very special to him and a big part of his life. One of his favorite things was when they would all go to a movie, out to eat, the yogurt bar and Waffle House at 2 in the morning.

Bryant’s life dream was to be a mechanic with John Deere. Had cancer not been part of God’s plan for Bryant, he would be attending a two-year college program at this point to achieve that dream. Nothing made him happier than getting dirty with a John Deer tractor.

The service will be at 2 p.m., Tuesday, November 29, 2016, at First Baptist Church of Bratt with the Rev. Delbert Redditt directing.

Visitation will be held from 6-9 p.m. on Monday, November 28 at Petty Eastside Chapel Funeral Home in Atmore.

Bryant is survived by his father, Marion Cooper of Bratt; his mother, Janet Little Cooper of Jay; his older brother, Austin Cooper of Pensacola; paternal grandmother, Doris T. Cooper; numerous uncles, aunts and cousins.

Bryant was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Rev. Thomas and Joyce Little of Jay; paternal grandfather, Lawrence Cooper of Bratt; his uncle Carl Cooper of Bratt and his cousin Reagan Reid Little of Louisiana.
