“She was such a light to this world, truly, she was always glowing. You could never slow that girl down. She was so hard-headed and strong, but also just so kind.”
The post also revealed that Deets was a mother, a sister, a daughter, a best friend and a role model for so many.
Readers were urged to check on their loved ones and to communicate how much they are loved.
The post continued: “All we ask is that you check on your friends and loved ones. You never truly know what someone is going through. Call them and tell them you love them. You never know how much time you’ll have left with the people you love. We love you forever Coconut, rest easy beautiful.”
