In loving memory of Simon Paul Cooper, aged 57, of Cosham, Portsmouth, sadly passed away on 4th July 2022 after battling with cancer.
Born in Havant, Hampshire to Charlie and Pauline, Simon was a lively; fun cheeky chappie. Simon was fiercely passionate about Family and Friends from the start and dedicated his life in this pursuit.
After he left school, Simon worked in the casino industry as a croupier and this is where he met his wife Sara Louise Cooper. Simon and Sara went on to have two children; Samuel and Stanley. Simon always put family first, and was a dedicated father.
Simon was a strong, kind, loving, and supportive father. His knowledge and guidance was the foundation of his family.
Simon was also a passionate gamer and music enthusiast. He spent most of his spare time playing games and listening to music with his family and friends.
