Oct. 31, 1985 – Nov. 29, 2025
Seth Cooper’s journey on this Earth began on Oct. 31, 1985, four days before the Flood of 1985, and ended on Saturday, Nov. 29, 2025.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Barbara and Cebert Cooper; grandfather, Houston “Papa Hooten” Willis; and several beloved dogs.
Survivors include his parents, Greg and Teresa Cooper; his brother, Aaron Cooper; grandmother, Jean Willis; his beloved nephews, Levi and Lincoln Cooper; devoted companion, Michelle Borig; and dogs, Brick, Chonk, Tahoe, Riley, and Nacho. He is also survived by several aunts, uncles and cousins.
Seth graduated from Lord Botetourt High School in 2004 and Hampden Sydney College in 2009 as a Phi Beta Kappa scholar. As a philosophy major, Seth spent his adult life searching for the truth and the meaning of life. In the end he came to the conclusion that “in this life we can never know the truth on this Earth and that creating love is easy and costs us nothing and we humans are actually capable of love.”
The family received friends and family on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025, from 10 to 11 a.m. at Williamson Road Church of the Brethren, Roanoke. A Celebration of Love and a meal followed.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to The League for Animal Protection, P.O. Box 561, Fincastle, 24090. Condolences may be shared with his family at www.Oakeys.com. Arrangements were by Oakey’s North Chapel, 540-362-1237.
