1976-2026
J. C. Cooley, age 49, of White Hall, went to be with the Lord Friday, January 9, 2026 at 12:01 p.m.
He was born May 31, 1976 at Pine Bluff to Mrs. Dorothy Smith Cooley of White Hall and the late Jack McNally Cooley. He attended White Hall High School and was a self-employed paving contractor. J. C. was a “jack of all trades”, never met a stranger, and loved people. A “social butterfly” like his Mom, he could talk to anyone giving a kind word or advice and had a smile that could light up the room.
J. C. was preceded in death by his father, Jack McNally Cooley; and three brothers, Jack, Abraham, and Elijah Cooley.
Survivors include his wife, April Harrison Cooley; his mother, Dorothy Smith Cooley; two daughters, Jackie Jasmine Harrison (Jimmy) and Selena Star Wells (Robert); two brothers, Johnny Cooley and Bennie Cooley; three sisters, Jackie Brewer, Grace Cooley, and Sunni; five grandchildren, Jimmy, Anastasia, Renesmee, Robert, and Jasmine; along with many other loving family and friends.
The wake will begin Tuesday, January 13, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. at Harvest Time Church. J. C.’s funeral service will be Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. Burial will be in Graceland Cemetery by Robinson & Fuller White Hall Chapel.
