Yancey Cooper was born in Anniston, grew up in Wellborn and eventually graduated from Ragland High School. Mr. Cooper was a lover of the outdoors, therefore, fishing was one of his favorite hobbies. As a teenager, Yancey was baptized at Hill Crest Baptist Church. It is also a well-known fact that he was an avid Alabama Crimson Tide fan. A great father and loving uncle, Yancey will be greatly missed by all of those who were blessed enough with the privilege of knowing him.
