Cooper Jay Collins

Cooper Jay Collins. Born into the arms of Jesus on November 3rd, 2025 With so much love and sorrow we share that our precious baby boy, Cooper Jay Collins was born into Heaven on November 3rd 2025 weighing 1 pound and 10.5 inches. Though we never got to hear his cry or see him open his eyes we know that he only knew love his whole entire life and went straight from our love into the arms of Jesus. From the moment we found out about him, we began dreaming for him, praying for him, and loving him more than words could ever say. You are our miracle, our promise, our son. We find comfort knowing you rest safely in the arms of our Savior—whole, pure, and at peace. Until the day we meet again, we will carry you in every heartbeat, every prayer, and every sunrise. You are and will always be the most beautiful part of our family, and the answer to so many prayers. While our arms are empty, our hearts are full of gratitude for the time we had with him — every kick, every heartbeat, every moment we got to hold him. We take comfort in knowing that God’s hands were the first to hold him and that one day, we will hold him again in Heaven. His time here on earth was short but his purpose will live on forever reminding us of the hope and love that we have in Jesus Christ. Cooper Jay is survived by his parents Graci and Carson Collins whose love for him will live on forever; his grandparents Tanya and Phillip Thomas; and grandparents Wendy and Jerry Collins; his aunt Shelbi Collins; his uncle Carson Thomas; his cousin Wyatt Patrick; several great aunts and uncles; and many friends and family who love Cooper and his parents tremendously. Cooper Jay is preceded in death by his great grandparents DeeEtt and Jerry Riedmueller; great-grandmother, Mary Goemmer; his great grandpa Dale Rainey; his cousin Laken Faith Patrick; and his aunt in love Jessica Cree Keeton. A private service will be held to celebrate his life and the promise of reunion in Heaven. “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” — Matthew 19:14 Until we meet again, our sweet and perfect baby boy — we love you beyond measure.
