Unfortunately, we must inform you that our dearly loved Mike Cooley has passed away. It is with a heavy heart that we do so. Earlier this morning, he passed away in a calm and serene manner at home, surrounded by the love of his family. The knowledge that Mike lived a life that was full of love, courage, and strength provides us with some measure of comfort as we come to grips with this loss.
In the present moment, preparations are being made for a memorial service that will take place in DeMotte. In spite of the fact that the particulars have not yet been settled upon, we are having preliminary discussions about holding the service on either February 6th or February 7th. Once all of the arrangements have been finalised, we will post the confirmed date and keep you updated on the situation.
Mike was a true superhero, a real-life Superman who tackled the obstacles that life presented with unyielding fortitude and resiliency regardless of the circumstances. His spirit remained unconquerable right up until the very end, leaving behind an impressive legacy of bravery and motivation that will last forever. Mike was able to maintain his composure in the face of challenges, demonstrating that true strength is not solely derived from physical prowess but also from the complexity of one’s character and the ability to love.
As we make our way through the challenging days that lie ahead, let us remember Mike for the happiness he brought into our lives, the fun he shared with us, and the love he offered to us without reservation. The depth of his influence was immeasurable, and his legacy will endure in the hearts of all those individuals who had the honour of being acquainted with him.
When it came to his family, Mike was more than simply a relative; he was the rock of support and the personification of affection. When we were going through difficult circumstances, his unflinching support and reassuring presence were a source of emotional consolation. Although you are going through a difficult moment, the love that he shared with you will continue to reverberate and provide you with consolation.
