Thomas Evans Cooperider, affectionately known as Tom, is now singing praises in the presence of his dear Savior and Lord as of January 3, 2020. He was the beloved husband of his "fox", Angie Cooperider, loving dad to Marcus Graham, Jacob Cooperider, Josiah Cooperider, Jonathan Cooperider, and Jenna Cooperider and dear son to Jim and Carol Cooperider. He was a caring brother to John Cooperider, Karen Chennells, and Rob Cooperider. He was a great uncle to his 14 nephews and 10 nieces. He was the best Christian example to so many surrogate kids and grandkids.

He was born on October 14, 1964. He gave his life to serving others as a full-time minister, and he currently was serving at Solsberry Christian Church in Solsberry, Indiana. He loved God and loved his people. He enjoyed sports and was an avid Ohio State Buckeye fan.

Visitation will be at Solsberry Christian Church on Friday, January 10, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The services will be held at Solsberry Christian Church on Saturday, January 11, at 11:00 A.M.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made either to Solsberry Christian Church or Johnson University. One of Tom's greatest gifts was helping people take one step closer to Jesus.
