Phillip Wayne Cooper, Jr., 54, husband of Lisa Boulware Cooper finished his fight against ALS on Friday, March 17, 2023. Born in Winnsboro, SC on February 23, 1969, to Donna Jackson Murphy and Phillip Wayne Cooper, Sr.  Phillip was the eldest child.

He was a 1987 graduate of Fairfield Central High School. Phillip was a machinist/journeyman tool maker at a number of companies including Mack Trucks. He later attended Midlands Technical College and the University of South Carolina, earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration. Before his retirement due to illness, Phillip excelled as a project manager with FN America LLC.

Phillip & Lisa enjoyed 30 years of marriage. Together they built a beautiful life and enjoyed raising their children. As a family, they are members of Springvale Baptist Church, Lugoff SC. Phillip’s Christian faith was an anchor for himself and his family, especially during his battle with ALS.
