WORKING FOR TOMORROW. Cooper Joseph McWilliams was born in Milford, Kansas to Connie and Randy McWilliams on January 17, 2006. His siblings are Nate, Monte, and Haley McWilliams. His four years of high school have been successful with Cooper being an FFA member for four years and an officer for one. He has made a reputation for being a hard worker while being a good friend that people can always share a laugh with. Cooper’s words of wisdom to the next senior class is to not get hung up on English.
“If you are good at something, never do it for free,” as said by Heath Ledger. This quote exemplifies Cooper’s mentality towards working hard and earning money, something he loves doing. For fun, he loves driving on country roads while jamming to depressing country music and playing Call of Duty with the boys. His favorite high school memory was cruising with Nate, Riley, and Caleb. After high school he intends on attending Central Community College for Diesel Tech. He also will be earning a CDL to drive semis.
Even though he does not enjoy school as much as other students do, he still has made a positive impact on many people’s lives, sometimes without him even noticing. Overall, Cooper has been a great friend to many and whether he believes it or not, he will be sincerely missed.
