My dad, Kevin Cooper, passed away after a long and difficult journey battling lupus. Saying goodbye to him has been the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced. He suffered for many years and while my heart is broken, I find comfort knowing he is finally at peace.

He was not just my father; he was my protector, my constant, and my biggest worry was always whether I would be okay without him. I want to honor him in a way that reflects the love he gave throughout his life. He dedicated his time before disability to Wendell Fire Department. He fell in love with the service immediately and has made an impact on many.

I’m asking for help with funeral expenses during this overwhelming time. Any support, whether through donations, sharing this page, or kind words, truly means more than I can express.

Thank you for being here for us.
