Scott Cooper's Obituary
Scott Cooper was a hardworking and adventurous man. Born in Bellflower, California, him and his family moved around a bit before they settled down in Clear Lake, Texas. He loved to work on cars and play sports when he could; skiing, hunting, fishing, golf, and bowling. After graduating from San Jacinto Junior College, he went on to be a mechanic working on various different car brands. Eventually he moved to Austin, where he met Elizabeth Johnson. Three years later they were married. They went on many trips together before starting their family; with a daughter and son born later on. They were married for close to 31 years. After she passed, he met his new life partner Elizabeth Wanjura and went on many adventures and trips together. He loved all his animals ranging from his dogs, cats (that he wouldn't admit to loving) and even the short period where he was raising cows. He was an avid gardener and was proud of every season he would plant in.
He is proceeded in death by his Mother Helen Marie Cooper, Father Paul Eugene Cooper, and Wife Elizabeth Johnson Cooper.
He is remembered and survived by his children and their families; His Daughter Jane Marie Cooper and granddaughter Camille Gaspard, His Son Thomas Paul Cooper and wife Jasmine Cooper and their children Elijah Penn Cooper, Levi Beau Cooper and soon to be here Elizabeth Grace Cooper; His Brother Jeff Cooper and wife Patti Cooper; His Life Partner Elizabeth Wanjura; and many other surviving family members and friends
