The 76-year-old grandfather from Moon Township died from complications of gunshot wounds suffered on July 13, 2024, when Thomas Matthew Crooks fired from a rooftop. Shot twice—once in the triceps and once in the abdomen—Copenhaver endured multiple surgeries, with bullet fragments leaving him with permanent injuries like reduced use of his left leg. He recently wrote the foreword for Ken Silva’s book, reflecting on spotting the shooter on video and his long recovery, and had sued the government over alleged Secret Service failures. He was the second victim from the rally to pass away, after Corey Comperatore, leaving behind a family and a story of ordinary patriotism cut short.
