Don Cooper, 100, a devoted companion, amazing father and selfless friend to all who knew him, passed away Sunday, October 22, 2045, at his residence in Del Mar, California, while celebrating his 100th birthday. After a lifetime of low blood pressure issues, Don finally succumbed face down in his cake after extinguishing 100 candles.

He was born in Columbus, Ohio, to his parents Donald Cooper, an officer in the US Air Force, and Florence, an accomplished housewife & doting mother. Don was a graduate of Bitburg High School in Germany, 1963, and the University of Arizona with a BSME degree in 1969.

He loved engineering with a passion and worked as a Software Engineer for General Electric. He enjoyed life with his loving wife, Mary, traveling, playing bridge and dancing.
He is survived by his wife Mary, brothers Greg & Bob Cooper, daughter Julie Menton, granddaughters Jacqueline, Molly and Nicole, and several great-grandkids too numerous to mention
An internment ceremony will be held this Saturday at the San Diego Recycle Center to honor Don�s request to �surprise me� with a disposal procedure.
