It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Carl John Cooper on September 23, 2025.

Carl was a beloved brother, son and grandson who cherished his family and was deeply embedded in their hearts.

Carl, also known as "Cooper,” was born January 22, 2000. He was an alumnus of Littleton High School and graduated in 2018. Further pursuing his education, he attended Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. His quest for knowledge and adventure led him to join the U.S. Army, where he found camaraderie, purpose, and lifelong friendships. One of Carl's many achievements included being awarded the Army Achievement Medal for exceptional support to the 6th Squadron, 17th Air Cavalry Regiment rotation to the National Training Center. His leadership, selfless service, and unparalleled commitment to mission accomplishment was integral to the unit’s success. 

Carl found joy in skateboarding, hiking and spending quality time with friends and family. He loved animals and if there was a dog or cat at the function, that’s where you’d find Carl. 

Carl’s life was an embodiment of love and strength. Those who knew him recognized him as caring, diligent, patient, strong, funny, hardworking and selfless. He believed in putting others before himself. He always emphasized that true leadership and greatness come from serving others, and that our character is molded by selfless thoughts and actions.

Carl leaves behind a legacy of strength and generosity that will forever be engraved in our hearts and minds. He will be missed by friends, family, and all those fortunate enough to have met him. His spirit, his strength and his love will remain a comforting presence in our lives.

In memory of Carl and his love for animals, donations can be made to the Animal Rescue of the Rockies at arrcolorado.org.
