DAKOTA KOPEK

Born in the stillness of December, as the world lingered in the warmth of Christmas, Dakota Kopek was a gift wrapped in the magic of the season. The day after Christmas became brighter with his arrival—a reminder that joy doesn’t end but carries on, unfolding in unexpected ways.

Tragically, just three days before his birthday, as the world prepared to celebrate him once more, Dakota's light was taken. The cruel timing feels unbearable, a heartache that sharpens the memory of his beautiful soul.

His story ended far too soon, yet the echoes of his life—his laughter, his warmth, his love—will forever resonate. Dakota was more than a moment; he was a season of light, a presence that continues to shine even as the days grow darker without him.

Rest gently, Dakota.
