Joshua David Cooper

Joshua David Cooper, age 35, of Pride, Louisiana passed away on Tuesday, August 18, 2020. Joshua was born May 21, 1985 to David and Tanya Devall Cooper. He was a family man and will be remembered as a “No. 1 Girl Dad.” He could fix a ponytail like the best of them and was well-schooled in accessorizing too! Joshua was an avid LSU sports fan, had a healthy obsession for tennis shoes, and had a love for trucks and old cars. Vacations to the beach were one of his favorite family activities.

Joshua was the best in the room at making someone laugh and the worst at keeping secrets. He loved the Lord with all his heart, and his wife and children always came first. We will remember him as a loving, affectionate husband, son, brother, and a friend to all.

He is survived by his wife, Stephanie Reher Cooper; his two girls, Morgan Avery and Juliet Grace Cooper; grandparents, John and Sylvia Devall; sister, Brittany Barnett (Brooke); nephew, Bronx; nieces, Brooklyn and Bryer Barnett.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Norman and Hilda Devall and Clyde and Dorothy Cooper.
