Tyler L. Cooper

Our loving son, Tyler L. Cooper, passed away far too soon, Sunday, May 14, 2017 at the Cleveland Clinic. He was born to Judson and Nancy (Linton) Cooper on March 4, 1972. Ty was only 45. A member of the Local 18, Ty was best known for his strong work ethic and Union Pride. He loved his union brothers, and they loved him. Ty was a real comedian when he was out and about, and it didn't take long for him to have the whole room laughing. Generous to a fault, if he knew you needed $100, it was in your hand that day. Ty found happiness living near the lake in Vermillion where he would bird watch and enjoy nature's goodness in God's creation. "Don't be afraid, be strong, be bold and very courageous for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:8 He is survived by his parents; aunts, Phyllis Niebes, Laurel Linton; uncle, Mark (Joyce) Linton; and many loving cousins; "brother", Flake (Sue) Vannoy and their son Gage; 2 feathered friends and beloved parrots, Lucky and Sachemo; and special friend, Amy Prots. He is preceded in death by his brother, Jason Burr Cooper. Friends will be received 1-3 p.m., Sunday June 4, 2017 at The Behm Family Funeral Home, 26 River St. Madison OH 44057.
