Gary A. Cochran's Obituary
A self taught Craftsman, who would finish a project 99% to keep everyone in suspense. He loved his wife, his children, grandchildren, golf, politics, any new gadgets and cars. Amongst his accomplishments he was a 39 year insurance agent for State Farm. Gary went into the Universe on March 30, 2017. Preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Norma Cochran. Survived by his wife Jill (Rosynek), his sons, Geoff (Pete), Adam Bice (Melissa), Drew (Jennie); daughters, Christin (James), and Tara (Candice); his grandchildren, Skye, Cameron, Noah, Evan. Peri, Bodhi and Wyatt; his great-grandchildren, Jaxson and Sofia; his sisters, Roxanne Houle (Tom), Diane Tomasik (Tom) and Joy Rosynek; his brother, Mark (Michelle), Merwin Wittum (Kristi), Charlie Schultz (Pam), his many nieces and nephews and special family, Pat and Cheryl Zombo. Upon his wishes he has been cremated and a Celebration of his Life will be held Sunday, April 9, 2017 at Cascade Manor House, from 2-5 pm. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Planned Parenthood or Cascades Humane Society in his honor.
"If for some reason your life functions ceased, my most precious one, I would collapse, I would draw the shades and I would live in the dark. I would never get out of my slar pad or clean myself. My fluids would coagulate, my cone would shrivel, and I would die, miserable and lonely." - Beldar Conehead
