This was posted at the Lansing State Journal by Shauna Whitepigeon in honor of Noah Dobson-Cooper who died unexpectedly on Sunday, September 15, 2013.
Noah Dobson Cooper was loved by all that had the pleasure to know him. He was a shining light in the world and a treasure that will be sorely missed. He was an East Lansing native and graduated from East Lansing High School, where he marched in the drum line, played the sax in band, and played tennis, and soccer.
He went to MSU and graduated from the James Madison College with a degree in Comparative Cultures and Politics. He was currently studying at MSU College of Law with a focus on the Indigenous Law Program. He was a member of NALSA and NAISO, and worked on the MSU Pow Wow of Love. He aspired to work for Michigan Native American Tribes and dreamed of a more environmentally conscious world.
He loved music and was a magnificent pianist, saxophonist, drummer, and singer. He loved to travel the world, and meet new people and make new friends. He made you feel welcome and it was just in his nature to help people. He was a kind soul and had that special something about him. He was my best friend and more, and I all always cherish the time I was blessed with him. I will always keep him in my heart.
Please keep his family, friends and fellow students in your prayers.
