Dre Cooper, 11, has died after going missing in the Broken River at Shepparton, Victoria

Dre Cooper, an 11-year-old Yorta Yorta boy from Shepparton in northern Victoria, Australia, went missing while swimming near the Broken River on Monday. His body was found the next day after a search by police, emergency crews and his own family. Dre was a premiership player for the Rumbalara Football Netball Club's under-12 team and loved fishing and catching yabbies. Hundreds gathered at a vigil on Friday, with tributes from his club, his church and his friends. Please pray for Dre's family as they grieve, and for his teammates and the Shepparton community who loved him.
