Edward Arthur Cooper, “Eddie,” of Virginia Beach, passed away on Thursday, August 22, 2019 at the age of 53 years. He was from Marietta, GA and a current resident of Virginia Beach, and formerly lived in Charleston, SC, a place he particularly loved. He studied at Strayer University for both his Bachelor’s Degree and his Master’s Degree in Accounting, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Eddie was an intelligent man, and worked for many years as a business accountant. His friends describe him as a kind and gentle person. He enjoyed being with friends, was a movie enthusiast, and an amateur writer. Eddie was in the process of completing several short stories. Eddie was a member of the Coastal Virginia Unitarian Universalists (CVUU).

Eddie will be missed by his CVUU family, dear friends, and his long-time feline companion Beau Ridge.

Special thanks to all the many doctors, nurses, and caregivers that provided care, comfort, and hope to Eddie during his long illnesses.

A celebration of Eddie’s life will be held on Saturday, September 28, 2019 at Coastal Virginia Unitarian Universalist Church (809 S Military Hwy, Virginia Beach, VA 23464) at 2:00 PM.
