| Tom Cooper |
New Mexico lost one of its great citizens early Wednesday, when Las Cruces accountant and agricultural businessman Thomas S. Cooper passed away.
Tom was raised on a ranch northeast of Roswell, N.M. He graduated from New Mexico State University, before he began his life-long career in public accounting. In 1976, Cooper purchased the first of several ranches that would become part of Cooper Cattle Company. Tom loved the cattle business – the cattle, the horses, and being outdoors in God's country. In addition to being a fine family man, Tom served as a great leader for the agricultural community. On issues he held dear to his heart, especially the support of private property rights, public lands issues, constitutional policymaking and private enterprise Cooper worked hard for the cause of common sense policies. Cooper served as chair of People for Preserving our Western Heritage, and also served on the Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce Agricultural Committee.
Tom Cooper was 72 years old. He will be missed deeply.
