Fred Arthur Cochran

Fred Cochran Sr. passed away from a long battle with cancer on December 30th, 2023. Fred was born on September 19, 1958, to Leland and Lillian Cochran. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin, and friend. 

Staying in contact was a priority for him whether it was a party, family gathering at his favorite breakfast place, or daily phone calls with his siblings: Gene, Bob, Don, Betty and Mary Lou, he was always happy to be there. 

Fred was everyone's go to guy for pretty much any kind of help. If you needed help, Fred would be there! He loved a good challenge and his career of over 45 years in electrical motor repair provided that challenge. He was well regarded among his colleagues and was a mentor to many.  

As a proud Dad and Grandpa Fred was more than happy to attend all their events and outings. He was kept very busy over the years! He had a long history of volunteering with the special Olympics and Challenger baseball league with his son Josh. To know Fred was to Love Fred. We will Cherish the time, attention and love he showed all of us throughout his life.
