He was also a recreational drug user. “We tried to convince him that he would not always know what he was being given, that there was just too many unknowns out there and what he was doing was dangerous.” said Cooper’s mom Libby Davis. “But Cooper always had the mentality of it will never happen to me. He always thought he was invincible in all the risk-taking things he would do.” August 29, Libby Davis got a phone call she feared. Her son…
