The video, which garnered over 2.5 million views, also uses a digital narrator who begins by saying he still has love for the teen but that the time had come for him to let her go. Mike captioned the video:

The heartbroken mom detailed she couldn't believe her daughter was gone and had hoped she would return to tell it was all just a horrible joke. She added she wished she could trade places with her child.
A GoFund Me account was set up following Shaffer's death, reportedly with a note, in part, from Santiago. It reads that Santiago had wished his daughter could have opened to him about her thoughts of suicide. At the top of the page, he writes:
"Fly with the angels my little jelly bean Dazharia."
Santiago also shared that his daughter was his closest friend. Following his return home to discover she was longer alive, he said he was in no way prepared to lay his child to rest.

Followers populated Shaffer's social media platforms with tributes following the news of her death by hanging. One YouTube commenter wrote that Noyes had become their favorite YouTuber, and it would be a while before they could heal from the loss.
