Benjamin James "Ben" Cooper, 46, of Pullman, WA passed away March 20, 2022 at Pullman Regional Hospital due to complications from cancer.  Ben was born October 5, 1975 in Colfax, WA to James and Kathryn (Helm) Cooper.  He grew up in Pullman, California and Seattle, WA where he completed school.  Following high school Ben began working for the City of Bellevue.  In May 2000 Ben met the love of his life, Helena Lozinski.  They married on December 9, 2000 in Kirkland, WA.  Ben returned to school and received his degree in Business and Accounting.  They made Monroe, WA their home and he went to work for the City of Sammamish, WA until 2009.  It was then that the family moved to Pullman to make their home.  Ben went into business with his father and brother Doug operating The Zzu Bar and Grill in Pullman.  Ben and Helena later owned and operated Precision Cleaning together.

To say Ben loved his family is an understatement.  They were everything to him.  They would spend time together camping, fishing, trips to Montana, barbecuing and just hanging out.  And it brought him pure joy.  They were his world.  And Helena was his true soulmate.

His best friend was his dad.  If the Coug's were playing, they were always watching and yelling Go Cougs at the tv.  The bond they shared was something very rare and special.

Ben also loved helping his mom and spending time with her.  He took great pride in anything he could do to help her.  He loved his mom with all his heart.

Ben is survived by his wife Helena; his son Cole; his daughter Emily; father Jim (Kathy) Cooper; mother Kathryn Beyers and his four brothers Jason Draper, Paul & John Goebel and Doug Cooper.  The memorial service will be held at 2:00 pm on Friday, March 25, 2022 at Corbeill Funeral Home in Pullman.
