Robert Michael Cooper

ROCKY MOUNT – Robert Michael Cooper “Mike”, age 58, hauled his final load on Friday, September 22, 2023. Born in Nash County, NC on July 3, 1965, he was the son of the late Benjamin Franklin Cooper and Hazel Taylor Cooper. He was also preceded in death by his sister, Susan Huffman. Mike was a trucker. He loved working on cars, riding his motorcycle, listening to all rock-n-roll and watching sci-fi movies. He was an avid fisherman with many stories to tell. His kids were his world. However; all of this changed when his grandkids came into the world. His grandkids were his life. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather and will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved him, but his loving spirit will never be forgotten as he was everything to his family. Mike is survived by his wife of 29 years, Eugenia Gray-Cooper; his sons, Robert Michael Cooper, II, (Kenya Mills), and Zack Morin (Leslie Morin-Frutos).
