Hello everyone. I’m Matthew Pike, I’ve been friends with Mike for well over 20 years. He was truly one of the best there was. Made friends with everyone and never had an enemy. As we all know Koop lived by the saying “ I ain’t here for a long time, I’m here for a good time” and boy did he. He was a dear friend to so many. He had a smile that would light up any room and a laugh that was hilarious. You could find him watching any MN sport, shooting the shit on a bar stool,at central livestock, or spending time with his family. He was exceptionally proud of his son Milton. I remember the day he called me saying that he was having a baby boy. You see his big smile thru the phone. You could hear the excitement. He was a father that most of us should thrive to be like. I’m starting this on behalf of the Koop family. To help with funeral costs and setting aside money for Milton. Koop would have given his shirt off his back for any stranger. Let’s give back to him now. Koop, we miss you man. We all are so very fortunate to have you be apart of our lives. You’re memories will live with us forever. We all love you.

OVER $5k raised so far!!!
