As many of you may already know, Tia's fiancé of over 10 years, Brent Cooper, unfortunately lost his life suddenly in a tragic car accident on 10/27/25. Brent was a very personable guy with such a huge heart and always doing what he could to help others. He was very positive and influential. Brent worked as a Union Laborer with Local 204 while Tia was a stay-at-home mom with three children at home and a baby on the way. Brent and Tia just bought their first home less than a month prior. They had been working on their life goals. He wanted her to stay home and be with the kids while he worked and took care of everything. They had just talked about finally getting married and how life for them was going good. Everything was falling into place. Brent and Tia were due to have their baby 3 weeks after his accident. She went into labor early and had Journei Brenter Ann Cooper on 11/11/25. Brent was so excited about the baby but we all know he was still there during the birth of Miss Journei.

Due to Brent’s tragic accident and being the one who brought in income, I am asking for help so she is able to take care of things until she is able to find employment. And with the holidays approaching, especially Christmas, I would like to be able to see her and those babies have a nice Christmas. It’s already going to be hard on them to have to celebrate it without him here so please let’s help make their Christmas good and in honor of Brent. He wouldn’t want her or their babies to do without. Anything helps and is much appreciated!
