I've only heard your beautiful daughter speak of you often and I knew she loved you dearly. Sometimes just meeting someone's child speaks of how incredible their parents are! She will always be an incredible piece of your legacy that myself and the world will cherish forever. I know that you are now at a painless rest. May God continue to comfort my friend (Britt) and her family. I will continue to pray always.

Sending heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the late Kevin Cooper. To his wife Beverly, children, mother, brothers, and sister, Kevin's infectious humor and zest for life touched everyone he encountered, leaving a lasting impression on those around him. I fondly remember the times we shared during rides with CARTS Transportation, and his absence will be profoundly felt, especially at Zion Hill Christian Church services and amongst those in the Florence Community. During this difficult time, I hope Kevin's loved ones find solace in cherished memories and the support of their community. May the words of 2 Corinthians 5:8 bring comfort: "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rest easy, cuz, for in that great day we will meet again in Glory along with your Heavenly Father.
I am truly sorry that we have to say good-bye to another one of our precious family members. My prayers will be with our Florence community who are grieving the loss of Kevin, along with his wife, children, brothers, and sister. Our heavenly father Jehovah will comfort us and help us endure this sad occasion. Jude 2, May mercy and peace and love be increased to you.
The Pamlico County Training-Pamlico Central School Alumni Association, Inc. extends our deepest sympathies to the family. May God grant you peace, comfort, and strength during this difficult time. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." — Matthew 5:4

Daddy, you were always my protector and the person I knew I could always count on. No matter how old I became, I never stopped needing my daddy. Saying goodbye is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but being your daughter will forever be one of my greatest blessings. I love you endlessly, Daddy. Rest peacefully and know everything is going to be okay.
