Dan Cooksey

Dan Cooksey was a 42-year-old man of Shreveport, Louisiana, whose life was part of the fabric of the city’s Allendale neighborhood. Public records released after his death confirm he lived in the area and was known to those who shared that community. Beyond the basic public details, there is limited personal information available in the public record; what is clear is that Dan was a real person whose life was connected to family, neighbors, and the streets of Shreveport.

While many particulars of Dan’s life — his work, hobbies, and family relationships — are not recorded in the sources available to the public, it is important to acknowledge the human reality those gaps represent. People who knew him would remember ordinary, meaningful things: routine mornings and evenings in a neighborhood, conversations with friends, and the small kindnesses that do not always reach public notice. Those everyday moments are as much a part of a life as any headline.

Public reporting confirms that Dan died on July 3, 2021, in Shreveport. Local authorities and the Caddo Parish Coroner identified him and reported the circumstances of his death; he was 42 at the time. For a respectful memorial it matters most to hold to the fact that a person named Dan Cooksey lived, belonged to a community, and left loved ones and acquaintances who were affected by his passing.

If family members or close friends wish to provide more about Dan’s life — his voice, the roles he held, the people he cared for, and the ways he brightened daily life — those memories would help paint a fuller portrait. Until then, this remembrance honors him with dignity: a neighbor of Shreveport, remembered by name and age, and by the simple truth that his life mattered to people around him.
