Cooper Thomas Kemp was born on August 24th, 2026, at 4:44a.m. into the arms of Jesus. Cooper is the son of Tyler and Emily Kemp. During the pregnancy, Cooper felt the safest with both his mom and his dad together as he was the most active at night while his parents were holding each other close. Cooper was loved from the very beginning starting on December 14th, 2025, when Emily and Ty found out they were parents-to-be. 

Cooper is forever loved by his parents Tyler and Emily Kemp; grandparents Brett and Nikki Benz, Joe and Jessica Kemp, and Sara Lipetzky; great grandparents Forry and Jerri Benz, John and Char Frank, Bev Kemp, Stephen and Dianne Lipetzky, Jan Siedl; and aunts and uncles Alison (Mitchell) Fulton, Carter Benz, Caleb Kemp, Drew Kemp, Grace Kemp, Truman Gilbertson, and Oscar Gilbertson. Cooper is welcomed into heaven by great grandparents Thomas Kemp and Denis Siedl.
