Jake Robert Cooper

August 3, 2007 - March 22, 2020

Jake Robert Cooper, age 12, passed away suddenly on March 22, 2020 at his home. He was born August 3, 2007, in Pittsburgh, to his loving parents, Robert and Andrea Cooper. Jake lived life like everyone should, with a huge smile and constant laughter. His smile was contagious and one that everyone knew. He was always making those around him laugh. He was known by his family and friends as a fun, silly, sweet, kind and amazing boy. Baseball was Jake’s passion and it showed. He played for the Beaver Valley Baseball team. At any moment you could see him practicing and learning with his Dad. He wanted to make his Dad proud and did he ever on the field and off. He was his Mom’s pride and joy and was his sister’s best buddy, always acting silly together. As a family, they loved to go to Disney every year, vacation with friends and just be together. Jake enjoyed being outside, swimming in his new swimming pool, playing with the neighborhood kids and spending time with his family and close friends. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him and everyone is better having had him in their lives. Jake is survived by his loving family; his parents, Robert and Andrea (Brereton) Cooper of Mars and his adoring sisters, Alyson and Abagail Cooper both at home. Also surviving are his maternal grandparents, Charles and Karen Brereton; paternal grandparents, Connie Green and Sam Nantalina and Robert and Joan Cooper all of East Liverpool. His aunts, Patty & Rob Vantillburg, Lori and Jeff Allmon, Molly and Trevor Eastham, Kristin and Stephen Mercer and Ashley Cooper and Jonathan Moore; uncles, Denny and Julie Brereton and John and Jen Brereton all of East Liverpool; and numerous cousins and close friends that all loved him dearly. A private family visitation and service will be held. Due to the current situation, there will be no public service at this time. A Celebration of Jake’s life will be held at a later time for all to come and remember Jake. In honor of Jake, The Jake Cooper Legacy Fund has been set up for memorial donations.
