In Memory of Gary,
The last time I saw Gary I didn't dream that it would the last, but his smile and hearty laughter on that day is what is imprinted in my mind and that is how I want to remember him. We must keep the good memories forever right up front. In loving memory.

To Aunt Daisy and the whole Wiggins Family, I want to say, as Gary's little cousin, that I will truly miss him. I will definetly miss him calling me Opie or some othe nick name. He was a great person with a big heart and he will never be forgotten. I love and cherish all of my family and pray that God keeps us together during this difficult time. But we must always remeber that Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal!!

My dear cousin,
I will forever remember the summers you babysat me and Aaron in NY, and you and Eric catching all of us so granny could beat us. You were you're own person, A leader and not a follower. A left-handed genius who very few understood, like myself. LOL! You were you! I love you Big Cuz and will always keep you in my heart 4 eva. Ill miss you until the day we meet again and we will meet again. Like you told me before, you graduated from Sunday school (lol), so I know I'll see you again.

This was a shocker to me. I can't remember a dull moment with Fuji. I remember when we were little playing tackle football on Liberty Park and then real Football for the Cougars. I remember him always smiling. My little brother, Maurice loved him. He was a Guardian Angel for the Park and will be sadly missed. I find solace knowing he is in heaven. R.I.P

Evangelist Daisy Cooper Reese and the Family of Delbert Gary “Fuji” Cooper Jr., beloved Son, Brother, Grandson, Nephew and Cousin, wish to convey our sincere thanks for all of your kind expressions of sympathy in our recent great sorrow and this difficult time.

The loving and joyous memories of “Gary” will sustain all of us who loved him dearly in the days to come. We find healing in God’s tender embrace, and in knowing others remembered and cared so much about him.

We also send our thanks to Mayor Summey and the City of North Charleston for the kind expression of sympathy received, and your service.

Thanks to each of you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. Your thoughtfulness during our bereavement is greatly appreciated.


Love all whom you hold dear.
Precious is the time you share...

Man!! I can't believe my friend is gone! My kids and I will miss you dearly. I've known Fuji my entire life! He's always looked out for me. And, when I moved back home with my kids on the 'park', it was as if I had never left! Fuji played a BIG part in that. I remember sitting in my living room and hearing him yell out "Hey, Tonya... when you cook'n out!?". I would come outside and tell him I was THINKING about putting something on the grill. Before I could blink, Fuji would be role'n back to the house with drinks, Ricky and the boys, and all the meat you could carry! LOL That's all you need to get a party started in the park! We're going to miss you Fuji. I will love you and remember you ALWAYS!!

SuperGnat and others who have had the privilege of knowing this great man, along with you, I remember those days when we played for the blue devils, I think about the days often, when we were carefree. Fuji was a great guy, always happy, and always had a nice thing to say. When I read the article it made me cry, not only did I realize that I have missed some of my friends, but they still were the kind friends and people I had always known. He always helped other people, Fuji is loved and will be loved, and greatly missed. In my mind his legacy will live.

I'm Tanzania (Tee) Pais I'm the girl Fuji use to wait at the bus stop for every night when I had after school program cause it was dark. He is a nice caring person, he even bought me a bike last Christmas because someone stoled my old bike . He usually give me 5dollars every morning and he had his own quote for me it was (when you go to school today just learn something). He always try to put a smile on my face when I'm mad. An I wished that bad thing didn't happen to him because he doesn't deserve it. R.I.P Fuji and may god bless his family.

It seems just like yesterday when FUJI and I last spoke about life a few months ago. We talked about high school and the many things we've been through growing up, and just how the world has changed and so full of trouble. FUJI kept a smile on his face and told me to be encouraged because everything happends for a reason. He was and he is so full of life and laughter. He is missed. Be Encouraged Family & Friends for Fuji believed and has gone on to a new address called HEAVEN...{John 14:1-6}

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the Cooper & Wiggins Family:
This news is so startling - I can remember like yesterday Fuji's vibrant spirit and know that he is rejoicing among the angels. I was fortunate enough to see him a few months back at the Kangaroo Gas Station and he was kind of enough to keep me out of the rain and pumped my gas and cleaned the windshield. I gave him my card and told him to be encouraged and keep in touch. He called a few weeks later to enourage me to press on!!! Keep trusting God for the answers to be revealed -Fuji was not a quitter and his memory will not allow an injustice to go forth.

When I moved in that area he was cutting my grass, the church and other neighbors I offered him some money he told me " Man no I'm straight your people is my people don't worry about that". He always asked "Are you ok family". He cared about his community and everyone in it. He will be missed. Rest peacefully family!
