Northwest Ambulance extends our deepest condolences to the family, friends and fellow officers of Officer Joe Cooper.
We remember someone who was so much more than a professional connection. He was a friend, a trusted partner, and a valued member of our community.
He always cared deeply about N**s patients, even when their well-being technically wasn’t his responsibility. He looked out for the safety of our crews on every call and was always willing to go above and beyond to teach, share his knowledge, and help us better understand the drugs, crimes, and challenges we may have encountered in the field.
But perhaps what meant the most was the person he was beyond the job. If you needed someone to talk to, had a question, or simply needed a helping hand, he was always there—whether he was on duty or off.
He truly loved what he did and took great pride in serving his community and anyone who knew him knew how much his family meant to him. He spoke with such pride about his children and grandchildren, and it was clear how much they meant to him.
Northwest Ambulance District is grateful to have had the opportunity to know, work alongside, and call him a friend. His kindness, knowledge, dedication, and friendship will not be forgotten.
Rest easy, Joe. Thank you for always looking out for us. You will be deeply missed. 💙
