Obituary

Whereas, God has brought to a close the life of William Bryant Loper, Jr., at the age of 91 years of age, a veteran from the United States Air Force Until August 15, 1993. He served the country with dignity and respect, receiving many metals and awards. He traveled in many missions and wars serving his country since the age of 17 years old. Afterward he served as a police officer for the Tampa Police Department and as a detective.

William Bryant Loper, Jr was born to the late William Bryant Loper and Vivian Edna Schackleford on August 15, 1933, and had one younger late brother that passed away before him. He was a native of Tampa, Florida, USA. He was a kindhearted soul.

He left behind a loving wife, Aney B. Loper and one child, Jesus William Loper and his daughter-in-law, Lauren Nicole Loper and three grandchildren (Carter William, Conner Nicholas, and Chloe Elizabeth). He left behind many families and friends that truly loved him. His presence and spirit will forever be with us, sustaining memory in our hearts.

He will always be remembered for being a great cook and the love for the beach and the great times with his family and friends and for the love of country music. He was a gentle quiet man as he grew older, appreciative for all his beloved wife did, as she cared for him, always saying thank you, especially when she remembered to give him a fork, spoon, and knife for each of his meals.

He was very healthy until the final two months, he was able to celebrate his 91st birthday and that will always be cherished.

He passed away on May 14, 2025, and left our hearts in sorrow and the loss is deep, but importantly, we recognize that this loss is Heaven’s gain and all know that he is now resting in a better place.
