Cockman and Leslie Pait; and four great-grandchildren, Johnnie Pait, Ariel Pait, Christian Cockman and Kennedy Cockman; and a number of nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was also predeceased by one son, Wayne Moorefield, one great-granddaughter, Serena Cockman, four sisters and one brother. A private graveside service will be held at a later date.
