Timothy Allen Cooper,

Timothy Allen Cooper, of Belgrade, was born on May 18, 1958 in Freeport, Texas, a son of the late William Troy Cooper and the late Maurelian Charlotte (Sparks) Cooper. Tim departed this life on Monday, March 2, 2026 at his home surrounded by his loving family at the age of 67.
Tim was united in marriage to Donna Sadler on a beautiful sunny day, September 18, 1993 in Belgrade. Together they shared 32 wonderful years of marriage filled with love, laughter, and many cherished memories.
Tim grew up in Angleton, Texas, where his parents first met. Later, he and his family moved to Belgrade to help care for his grandparents when their health began to decline. Over time, Belgrade became the place Tim proudly called home.
Tim worked as a truck driver for Parrish Trucking. In his spare time, Tim enjoyed playing video games and spending time talking on the CB radio, where he was known by the handle “Whitesnake.” He also enjoyed fishing and camping in earlier years and spending time outdoors. Music was another passion of his, and he especially enjoyed classic rock from the 1960s through the early 2000s, including artists such as Whitesnake, ZZ Top, and Bob Seger. Tim will be remembered for his easy going nature, his sense of humor, and the love he had for his family and friends.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two nephews, Joshua MaGee and Caleb Cooper; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Walter and Geraldine Sadler; and other dear relatives.
