He grew into a really good young man. I was just proud that he made something of his life.
— Sherry Kennon, mother
Cooper died Oct. 30 of injuries sustained from a non-combat related incident in Babil province, Iraq. Army officials said the death was under investigation and declined to comment further. Cooper was originally from St. Louis. He joined the Army in 2006, a little more than a year after leaving the Marines. "He couldn't escape it," Dave Moffat, an Oceanside contractor who employed Cooper and rented him a room. "It was in his blood."

Chris and I were roommates before he left to join the Army. He was always such a sweet and fun guy to hang out with. I will miss him.
I remember my trip to CA, to see Chris. He was so charming & fun. He took me to the ocean for my first time, we watched the waves & wrote our name in the sand. Sounds cheesy, but it meant so much. Lots of great memories. I will greatly miss him, he was a great person. A hero to all of us.
Chris is my cousin, and my really good friend. I will miss him forever, especially his bear hugs. God bless him and our family.
Chris you will always be carried in my heart and it was so nice to see all the love you had when we laid you to rest today! And i am so proud of you!! Your Friend Robin
