Colby Hooper Obituary
Colby Allen Hooper "Lil' Man", 18, of Columbus, GA went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, October 24, 2015.
Funeral services will be held 2:00 PM EST Thursday, October 29, 2015 at Greater Life Baptist Church 305 Old Grey Rock Rd. Midland, GA 31820 with Pastor Jonathan McNeese officiating. Interment will follow to Parkhill Cemetery. The family will receive friends Wednesday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at McMullen Funeral Home 3874 Gentian Blvd. Columbus, GA 31907.
Colby was born February 28, 1997 in Columbus, GA to Stacy Allen Hooper and Angela Petty Hooper. He was a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. He was a member of Greater Life Baptist Church; and family, friends, and faith were all important aspects of his life. He graduated from Harris County High School in May 2015 and had recently begun working at Hagelin Flavor Technologies, which he really enjoyed. He touched and impacted many lives in his short 18 years. Colby was loved by many and will be missed by all.
He enjoyed playing little league baseball as a young child and then co-coaching with his father when he got older. He loved spending time with family and friends, whether that was playing golf, fishing, or hunting, and was so proud that he had just recently shot his very first deer on a hunting trip with his friends. He also loved to travel to the beach and the mountains, and loved driving his Ford pickup truck.
Colby is survived by his father, Stacy Allen Hooper of Ellerslie, GA; mother, Angela Petty Hooper of Columbus, GA; brother, Austin James Hooper; paternal grandparents, James & Gail Hooper of Ellerslie, GA; maternal grandparents, Frank and Sue Petty of Columbus, GA; maternal grandmother, Betty Weldy of Phenix City, AL; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and other extended family and friends that will love and miss him beyond measure.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made either to Our House at Carpenter's Way (http://www.themethodisthome.org/designated-giving/), or The Valley Rescue Mission Camp Joy (http://www.valleyrescuemission.org/community-ministries/camp-joy/).
The family also requests that continued prayers be lifted for Hunter Grantham, and Richard Barfield, II.
