William "Cooper" Ellington Obituary
William Cooper Ellington, 18 years old, passed on to his Heavenly home on Sunday morning, July 29th, 2018.

Cooper was a star athlete, playing football, basketball and baseball. However, Cooper endured a very rare condition known as Von Hippel Landau Syndrome.

VHL is a disorder characterized by the formation of tumors and cysts in many different parts of the body. In 2011, Cooper had a tumor wrapped around his brain stem, which left him in a coma and later physically challenged.

As Cooper continued to recover from his condition, he had a huge zest for life and a love for Jesus Christ. Cooper, along with his Mom and Dad traveled from state to state opening for such gospel bands as the Whisnants, the Rochesters and others, singing and giving their testimony. Cooper, Stephanie and Reid, created their own ministry –Cooper’s Outreach Foundation.

Cooper and his Mom and Dad are well known for spreading the love of Jesus Christ, not just on tour, but throughout the communities they visited as well. Cooper had a very well-known motto – “You pray for me; I’ll pray for you.”

Cooper is survived by his father and mother, Reid and Stephanie Ellington (passed shortly after Cooper) of Whispering Pines, NC. Cooper is also survived by loving grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.

Visitation will be held at Boles Funeral Home on Pennsylvania Avenue in Southern Pines on Tuesday, July 31st from 6pm – 8pm.

Funeral services will be held at Pinecrest High School Auditorium in Pinehurst at 11am on Wednesday, August 1st. The Whisnants and the Rochesters will be singing at the service.

Burial will be at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, 2237 Camp Easter Road in Southern Pines following the service.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cooper’s ministry. Make checks or money orders out to “Cooper’s Outreach Foundation,” to the below address. A new website is being created and will be available by August 1st. The website is at www.cooperellington.com

THANK YOU, LORD

For making the sun to shine
Putting the stars in the sky
For flowers that bloom, the ocean so blue

And makes sweet melody
For rivers that flow, the rain and the snow
Thank you, Lord

I just want to thank you, Lord
I just want to thank you, Lord

Thank you, Lord

For my whole family
For the joy my children bring
For shoes on my feet, plenty to eat

For the church where I worship and pray
For the freedom I have today
For your spirit I feel, Your presence so real

For being a friend so dear
Giving my sad heart cheer
For holding my hand when I could not stand
