Caleb Cooper, age 34 of Rockwood, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, January 13th, 2026. Caleb was born on December 12th, 1991.  He was a graduate of Rockwood High School where he was known as one of the most genuine people you could meet. He was a great athlete and everyone also remembered him for his smile. Caleb could always light up a room, whether it was his intention or not. He had a heart of pure gold and would give the shirt off of his back to anyone in need. Those who had the honor of knowing him knew the kind of person he was, and if you spent enough time around him then you would find out quickly. He was always the life of the party. He would be anybody’s little pup that would hunt with him. Caleb had a lot of interests in his life. He was an avid UT football fan, loved to laugh, and was a jokester. You could often find him fishing if he had the time or in the gym lifting weights. Caleb will always be remembered as a kind hearted and amazing person. He is preceded in death by his grandmother: Barbara Ann Stinnett; uncle: Eddie Cooper. He is survived by:

Parents: Edwin Cooper (Amy), and Robin McDonald (Adam)

Siblings: Austin Cooper, Paige McDonald

Grandparents: Jerry & Carolyn J. Cooper
