elevated dsAhD Obituary
We tragically lost our Cooper to an accident on August 10th, 2018 while concluding a family Vacation in Europe. Cooper was born on November 30, 1994 and lived his short life with a powerful zest for friendship, family and fun. His spirited nature and infectious smile were his trademark as the smile lit up the room wherever he was. He was a happy and loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend to so many. Cooper will be dearly missed by his mother Arlene and his father Steven, his brothers Austin and Joshua and his sister Mya and her mother Andrea, his grandparents Sophia and John Riswick (predeceased) and Gary and Reta Evans. Cooper was a friend to so many – everyone knew him and everyone loved him. Cooper was also very close to his family and will be missed so fondly by his cousins Brittany, Brad, Brooke, Zachery and Aaron, James, Trish, John and Thomas and his uncles and aunts – Ross,Lidia, Robert, Monica, Lisa, Erik, Gail, Alistair, Wende, Ian, Melanie and Brian. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Canadian Tire Jumpstart.
Cooper, you will live in our hearts forever.
R.IP Cooper.

Dear Steve, Arlene and Austin,
All of us at Beacon Hall have had the great fortune to watch Cooper’s Brother, Austin grow into a fine young man over the years. While I did not know Cooper, I am sure that he has left his own rich Riswick legacy. I can only imagine the sadness you must be enduring and can only offer that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
My heart aches. Knowing you and the good person you are, he must have been a truly beautiful son. I pray to God for you and your family’s strength and courage to cope with your loss. You are in our prayers, and just remember that I’m here for you no matter what or what time of the day or night.
Marion XO💙 🙏🏻
