Cooper Deatherage was a role model for so many people who knew and loved him. He was a true leader on and off the ice as a Brookings Rangers Hockey player and as an extraordinary person. His passion and dedication touched the lives of many people as he lead by example and treated everyone with respect and kindness. Cooper you are the true definition of a team player, dear friend, beloved family member and an amazing person.
Through the generosity of Cooper’s parents Chad and Tracey, several family members and friends that want to keep the light of Cooper’s life shining bright forever, The Cooper Deatherage Scholarship Fund has been established with the Brookings Rangers through First Bank & Trust.
The Deatherage’s and the Rangers family will honor the memory and legacy of Cooper for eternity by making a difference for graduating seniors through Coopers memorial scholarship fund.
We love you Cooper and your family. May your light continue to shine on all of us and your legacy live in our hearts forever.
Donations for The Cooper Deatherage Scholarship Fund can be mailed to BISA or delivered to the visitation and funeral.
