Cooper, Keith Robert

On Sunday July 21st 2024, peacefully in his sleep at home in his 81st year.

Dearly loved husband and best friend of Mary for 55 years. Much loved Dad to Garry and Mel, Bradley (Aus), James and Krystina (UK), Stefan and Sally. Cherished ‘Grumps’ to Rylan and Bayden, Eloise, Riven and Jack, George, Emilee, William and Stella.

Keith will be missed by his two sisters and brother-in-law, Margaret and Gary, and Janice and brother to the late Jim.

A service to celebrate Keith’s life will be held at The Hideaway 201, 201 Lochiel Branxholme Road at 1.00pm on Thursday 25th July followed by a private interment.

In lieu of flowers, Mary please asks for donations to be made to Borland Lodge Education Trust – a place Keith was incredibly passionate about.

To the Cooper family, I am sorry for your loss. Keith was always around and involved in the local community. He was a wonderful volunteer in the Lions Club and did more than his share at anything happening in and around the district. He will really be missed. He was a good man.

We were sad to hear of Keith's passing and Jan and I pass on our sincere condolences.
My memories of him go way back to when all the cousins arrived, often unannounced. The Coopers, the Coveneys, the Marshalls and the Yeos. What great times we had and who was most often the smiling practical joker in the pack? Keith, of course.
I remember him as a hard case Kiwi bloke who could spin a great yarn and hand roll a decent smoke.

I used to go to the Winton Lions Club and he was a very helpful man and he was a great guy.
