Todd A. Cooper, 61, passed away peacefully at home on March 2, 2023 after an extended illness. He was preceded in death by mother, Marilyn Cooper; father, Robert Cooper; sister-in-law, Linda (Roger) Gerwig. Todd is survived by loving wife, Dreama Cooper; daughters, Shannon and Brittney Cooper; sisters, Cindy (George) Sarchenko and Lori Evans; grandchildren, Andrea and Riley Epperhart; brothers-in-law, John Schambre and Johnny Timbal; nieces and nephews, Shawn and Aaron Cook, David and Amanda Evans, Jeff (Jill) Gerwig, Sam Gerwig; numerous cousins and extended family; dear friends, Paul Sprouse and Ryan Tamburro who were continuously there when times were needed at the most difficult times.
Todd was raised in Gahanna where he attended Gahanna Lincoln High School and graduated in the class of 1979. After graduation Todd drove a semi-truck for Marzetti with many hours of being on the road. After 12 years, Todd decided to work at the United States Postal Service where he retired in 2018 due to his illness.
Todd enjoyed playing golf and riding his Harley motorcycle when the weather was nice outside with close friends. Todd valued spending quality time with his daughter Shannon fishing, going to watch the Columbus Blue Jacket games, playing softball, and watching OSU football games. Todd also spent many weekends at the Columbus Motor Speedway racing in the crazy compact division on Saturday nights. In his down time he enjoyed doing woodwork and constructing unique crafts. But what he cherished the most was traveling to some of his favorite places like Gatlinburg, Palm Springs, Maui, Florida, Myrtle Beach, and going camping. Everything Todd did with his family and friends is what meant the world to him.
