We are saddened to share that the Cooper Family has experienced the loss of a family member. We extend our heartfelt condolences and support during this difficult time.
Their family has always been there to support others, giving back to the children in our community with generosity and without hesitation. Their kindness has touched many lives within Kendall county and other youth organizations around the area.
It is with such a heavy heart that we have to post this…
The Cooper family is facing the unthinkable after a serious farm accident involving their son Jason while he was simply doing chores and feeding cattle—something so many of us know all too well.
Jake and Amber are the kind of people who are always there for others. Jake, our president, has poured countless hours into supporting youth agriculture programs—mentoring kids, helping with 4-H projects, organizing events, and making sure the next generation has every opportunity to succeed. Alongside Amber, their leadership in the Kendall Grundy Beef Association has made a lasting impact on so many families.
Now it’s our turn to show up for them.
If you’re able, please consider donating to help with the unexpected expenses they are now facing. Every donation, no matter the size, truly helps. And if you can’t donate, sharing this post means just as much.
Even donating meals or time to help on the farm would be tremendous!
Let’s rally around this family the way the ag community always does—strong, supportive, and united. ❤️
Our hearts and prayers are with the Cooper Family!
