Devion Cooper

Devion Cooper was an 18-year-old young man from St. Louis whose life and promise were part of his community. Public records and local reporting identify him by name, age, and hometown; beyond those verifiable details, there is little published about Devion’s private life in reliable sources. That limited public record does not diminish that he lived among family, friends, classmates, and neighbors who gave shape to his days.

Although official notices or a family-published obituary matching his name and the exact date of death were not found in the sources searched, published reports confirm the basic facts recorded in public safety sources: Devion died on November 26, 2022, at age 18 in St. Louis, Missouri. Because memorial and funeral-home notices that families typically authorize were not located, this life story emphasizes his personhood rather than the circumstances of his death.

Devion’s name appears in community remembrance spaces and in contemporary accounts of local events from late November 2022. Those brief public traces indicate he mattered to people who remembered him online and in small acts — candles, comments, and mentions — gestures that speak to private relationships and grief that are not fully visible in news reports.

For those who loved him, Devion was more than a line in a report: he was a son, relative, classmate, or neighbor whose absence leaves a personal and communal gap. This page honors that fact without claiming details that public records do not provide. May Devion be remembered with dignity, and may those who grieve him find comfort and support in family, friends, and the community that knew him best.
