Tributes to DreShawn Cooper

DreShawn was a talented smart loving father of 1 and was only 4 short days away from welcoming his son to this world when he was shot in the head and his lifeless body dumped on a side street blocks from his home. Unbeknownst to many, Dre was a gentle yet trusting young man who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Many label his murder as “gang-related” or “drug related” that would be a logical explanation for the media. But for the family that knew him, his heart and his goals, he was just a young man who wanted to show he could make it on his own. He was so excited to have just moved into his own apartment and start working his own job on his way to independence. No one has come forward to admit, or confess what they did/know but the family has a strong faith in God and we know that God is working on the hearts of all those involved and it will l only be a matter of time before they confess and free themselves from the pain of this mistake to take Dre’s life. He has a 17 month old daughter and 7 month old son to carry on his legacy. DreShawn loved to sing and was also a unique songwriter. If you go to Youtube, you will find some of his raps and songs on the webpage. In his raps, Dre rapped about real life issues as told to him by friends and what he saw on TV. DreShawn was in love with the mother of his children Kala. The two of them had dreams of raising this happy family. Due to Dre’s being brutally murdered Kala has been left with the task to raise two young babies without a father. The family and community vow to ensure these babies beat the odds and become all that God desired them to be. DreShawn also left to cherish his memory his mother Giovanni, father Fred, brother Yashua and 2 sisters Precious and baby and a host of other aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends. This loss has left a hole in many of our hearts and we just pray for peace for the anonymous coward who pulled the trigger and ended this precious life of our son, nephew, cousin, father, lover, friend. Rest In Heaven DreShawn!
