COOPER JAMES NEMETH

Condolences & Memories (69 entries)

• As I sit in the bleachers of the gateway rink, watching my 9 year old son practice his hockey skills with his team, I cannot help but think of Cooper Nemeth. I see the ice he once played on, the doors he once walked through to the rink, and the change rooms he once joked around in and shared many victories and losses in too. I didnt know Cooper, at all, but I am thinking of him. Rest peacefully Cooper. - Posted by: Cheryl w (Hockey mom) on: Dec 04, 2019

As the former manager of the AA Midget Marauders (2004-2006) and having also worked at Safeway, I felt a connection to his life in someway. He has brought out the best in many and has helped bring people in many communities together. I trust his life has served a greater purpose which may take some time to fully understand. To the family: have kept you in my thoughts. Wishing you all the best life can offer moving forward. #ripcip - Posted by: Mark J. Szymanski (Former AA Midget Marauders Manager) on: Feb 29, 2016
