The Empire Cheer family is reeling with heartbreak and sorrow as they say a painful goodbye to one of their brightest stars,13 Year Old Daughter, Zoe Landrum — a beloved athlete whose vibrant spirit left a lasting impression on everyone she met.
Zoe was far more than just an exceptional athlete; she was a beacon of light within the gym walls, known for her infectious smile, her quiet strength, and the warmth she brought into every practice, every routine, and every heart. Her presence was magnetic — the kind that lifted others even on the hardest of days.
Coaches who worked closely with Zoe recall a young woman with limitless potential and an unshakable kindness. “Watching her grow — not just as a cheerleader but as a human being — was one of the greatest honors of our lives,” one coach shared. “She didn’t just bring talent. She brought love, laughter, and something indescribable that made this team a family.”
To Zoe’s parents, the Empire team expressed profound gratitude: “Thank you for sharing your daughter with us. Coaching her was a privilege we will forever carry in our hearts.”
The cheer community has been invited to remember Zoe in the way she lived — with joy, connection, and celebration. Friends and teammates are encouraged to share photos and memories, turning grief into a collective tribute of the light she brought to their lives.
The Landrum family remains in the thoughts and prayers of all who were touched by Zoe’s life. As her Empire family mourns, they take solace in knowing she is now cheering among the angels — her spirit forever woven into the fabric of their team.
Rest peacefully, Zoe. You will always be one of us. Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever in our hearts.
