Bobby Theo Cooper, 78, passed away on November 25, 2025, at Suwannee Valley Nursing Center. He was born on July 13, 1947, in Jasper, Florida, to Burnice and Genester Cooper.

For more than 30 years, Bobby managed a number of Badcock Furniture stores in Live Oak and Jasper and was known for his strong work ethic. He had a lifelong love for racing cars, especially dirt-track racing. Whether working on the car, sitting behind the wheel, or simply watching, racing was one of his greatest enjoyments. He also liked freshwater fishing and spending time with his grandson.

He is survived by his children, Cindy Wood (Tommy, Jr.) and Robyn Cooper; his sisters, Yonna Lanier (Donnie) and Sheila Bennett (Muril); and his brother, Andy Cooper (Julia). He leaves one grandson, Brannon Wood (Chassaidy), and two great-grandchildren, Tucker and Braylon. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, but held a very special relationship with his nephew Kenny Keeling.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Burnice and Genester Cooper, and his nephew, Samuel Bennett.

A private family service will be held at a later date.
