Celebrating Dominic’s Life and Legacy

Donation protected
My name is Erika Cooper. Tragically, my 22-year-old son, Dominic Cooper, passed away unexpectedly on December 20, 2025. In light of this unfortunate event, I am raising funds to cover the funeral expenses and facilitate the relocation of my son’s belongings.

Dominic was an exceptionally caring and generous individual. He went out of his way to assist every neighbor in our community with various projects, including yard work and car repairs. He was in the process of establishing his own business and possessed a remarkable intellect, capable of rebuilding almost anything. Dominic was always willing to go the extra mile to help those in need. Despite his young age, he had already achieved significant milestones in his life, including maintaining his own home, securing a fulfilling job, and possessing multiple cars for his hobbies.

Unfortunately, his passion for guns ultimately led to his untimely demise, leaving us all devastated. While the police are currently investigating the incident, all indications suggest that it was an accidental shooting. I am medically retired and on limited income, and this was not an expense I was prepared for.

I appreciate you taking the time to read his story and kindly request prayers for strength and comfort during this challenging time.

Sincerely,
The Cooper Family
