Vernon Cooper of Brownwood, age 72, passed peacefully from this life on May 7th 2020 surrounded by his loved ones. He will forever be remembered for his willingness to give, penchant for staying positive in the darkest of times, love for his family, and undeniable talent in his chosen profession.

He is survived by two sons. Chad Cooper and wife Ebby of Brownwood, TX. Shane Rutledge and wife Candie of Gallatin, TN. Also daughter Tina Adams and husband Jeff of McAllister, OK. There will be no services as was his request. He always asked that you celebrate his life and not mourn his death. Online condolences may be made at www.brownwoodfuneralhome.net
