Cooper Noriega wasn’t just a TikTok star. He was a shining light in the internet community and often preached love and acceptance to his followers while creating a welcoming and family-like atmosphere for his fanbase. He loved fashion and skateboarding, and he always found a way to make people smile. Cooper Noriega wasn’t just another influencer. He was a kid with a dream and a vision to change the world. And he did.
It wasn’t uncommon for Cooper to be a voice for change and use his platform to help others. Open with his own personal struggles, Cooper made it his mission to be an advocate for those struggling with addiction or mental health challenges, reminding them they were never alone. His empathy and love for people shone through every day and are only a small part of the reason why he’s so loved.
Cooper has left behind an incredible legacy that is lived on by his fans and his loved ones alike. His best friend, Nessa Barrett, dedicated her single ‘die first’ to his memory and frequently speaks of the impact he had on her life. A hauntingly beautiful clip of an interview she did with Zach Sang played as an introduction to the song during her young forever tour. At that moment, fans in the audience held up white roses.
