Ronnie was a 1967 graduate of Lafayette High School and served his country honorably in the United States Navy. During his lifelong career, he worked in electrical construction as a lineman for Cooper Electric, and went on to Lafayette Consolidated Government until his retirement. He was an avid fisherman, serving as Vice President of ALBC and member of Acadiana Bass Club. Ronnie "Pop" was a hard working man who loved spending time with his family whom he cherished deeply. He enjoyed telling jokes and could make anyone laugh. He was definitely one of a kind and had a personality like no other. Our world will never be the same without him. May he rest in peace.
Pallbearers will be Cody Cooper, Hershel Spikes, Derrick Settoon, Kenneth Cooper, Gary Cooper, and David Labbe.
Memorial contributions can be made in Mr. Cooper's name to the Wounded Warrior Project.
A heartfelt appreciation is extended by the Cooper family to the nurses, staff and doctors of Our Lady of Lourdes, especially Dr. Elias Moussaly, and The Carpenter House for their kindness and compassion given to Mr. Cooper and his family during their time of need.
