Life Reflections

"For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.  I have fought a good fight, I have   finished my course, I have kept the faith:  Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at the day: and not to me only, but unto all them that love his appearing."                                                                        2 Timothy 4:6-8

Deacon Levern Cooper was born on May 14, 1953, in Kingstree, South Carolina and peacefully entered his heavenly rest on February 13, 2026, in Moncks Corner, South Carolina.

Levern received his education in the Williamsburg County Public School system and earned certificates from Williamsburg Technical College. He worked for decades as an electrician.

Levern dedicated his life to the Lord, became a member of Midway Baptist Church and was a consistent presence in worship, Bible study, and prayer service. He demonstrated that faithfulness is not measured by physical ability, but by willingness and devotion. Levern willingly offered testimony, shared scripture, and served as a powerful example of perseverance and a demonstration of God's perfect grace. Recognizing his commitment to the lord and the church, the church ordained him as a Deacon in 2019.

Levern was preceded in death by his parents and brother.
