Ryan Michael Cooper

It's with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ryan Michael Cooper, who left us on what would have been his 31st birthday, June 22, 2024, in Warner Robins, Georgia. Friends and family are welcome to celebrate Ryan's life and pay their final respects at Heritage Memorial Funeral Home on Thursday, June 27, 2024, from 6-8 PM. Visitation will be held during this time, offering a chance for everyone to share stories and remember the man who touched so many lives.

Ryan was born on June 22, 1993 in Warsaw, New York to Renae Sibley Mayes.  Ryan was a simple guy who had a knack for being right about just about everything. This trait, combined with his honesty, made him a steadfast friend and family member. Self-employed as a construction contractor, Ryan put his hands to work and his skills to good use, building a name for himself.

When Ryan wasn't busy on a job site, he could often be found out hunting or at the river fishing, doing what he loved best. The open road was another of his passions—whether he was cruising on his motorcycle or working on cars, Ryan found peace and joy in the mechanical and the wild. His spirit, honesty, and love for adventure will forever be remembered by those who had the privilege of knowing him. He leaves behind a family who loved him dearly.

Ryan is survived by his parents: Floyd Mayes, II and Renae Mayes;  brothers: Jacob Mayes and Floyd "Trey" Mayes, III;  grandparents: Richard Sibley, Bonnie Jenson, Floyd Mayes, and Carolyn Mayes; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and his beloved fur baby, Chino.

Please sign the online guest registry at www.heritagemfh.com and leave a personal condolence for the family.

Heritage Memorial Funeral Home & Crematory has the honor of being entrusted with the arrangements.
