Dickie Lynn Cooper, 72, of Lubbock, Texas, passed away July 22, 2022.
Dick was born on April 12, 1950, in Granby, MO, to Paul and Marjorie Cooper. He graduated from High School in Ames, Oklahoma, in 1968 and then received his Bachelor's of Science in Agriculture from Oklahoma State University in 1972.
He married Vicki Reinhart on June 30, 1972, in Jet, Oklahoma.

In March of 2018, Dick was inducted into the Kansas Cooperative Hall of Fame. He was an active member of Calvary Baptist Church, where he was a teacher of the Bereans Community Group. Dick was most passionate about pouring into the lives of his grandchildren, and watching each of their activities brought him great joy.
