Cooper Austin Sullivan, age 24, passed away on May 23, 2026. Born on February 1, 2002, he was the youngest child of Duane and Cathy Sullivan. He graduated from Lebanon High School and enlisted in the United States Air Force at the age of 18, where he proudly served as a Senior Airman and was selected for promotion to Staff Sergeant. He also served in the Honor Guard, a role he carried out with great pride and respect. During his military career, Cooper was stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, Nellis Air Force Base, and Robins Air Force Base, where he worked as an HVAC technician.

Cooper was known for his goofy, laid-back personality and was a loyal friend who cared deeply for those around him. To know him was to love him.
