Cooper Kenneth Nelson, 18, died Monday, August 25, 2024.

Cooper was born on February 14, 2006 in Ormond Beach Florida, adopted at birth by Danny and Kathy Nelson of Savannah, Georgia.

Cooper attended Hesse K-8, Blount Boys Academy and Calvary Day School. Most recently, Cooper was employed at his father’s company, The Nelson Group, where he was a positive member of the crews.

Cooper enjoyed motorcycles, tricked out cars, writing lyrics and poems, and his two cats. Cooper did not enjoy cleaning their litter boxes. Cooper was also an avid and talented self taught drummer, heard nightly at the house. He had a very big heart, and bigger ideas. Cooper often struggled finding his path in this world. While certainly not his intent, he is now free from those struggles, and we can all hope and pray that he finds his way in a better place. Hopefully, he will once again be in the loving arms of his mother Kathy…..her “little project”.

As we remember Cooper, we celebrate the beautiful moments he shared with us and the everlasting imprint he made on our hearts.
