James H. Delaney & Son Funeral Home Obituary

Christopher David Cosman, ''Cosy''', age 32, passed away on Saturday, January 2, 2016 peacefully with his Mom and family by his side. The diagnosis of duchenne muscular dystrophy at a young age never deterred Chris from living his life to the fullest. Chris was the most independent, extraordinary, exceptional, easy going, loving and generous person you could ever hope to have the honor of knowing. He was the center, the steady, the glue that held everyone together. He was immersed in love and family and friends his entire life who shared in his love of sports, wrestling, music, video games and his line up of favorite TV shows, right down to the cooking network (Felicia!) Chris was most content enjoying his life at home with his Mom, brothers Michael and Daniel, and his cousin Garymichael, Gary's wife, Felicia and their son, Brayden, who was Chris's pride and joy. Garymichael's dedication and love as cousin and caretaker cannot be captured in words. He, Felicia and Brayden brought about a new phase in Chris's life that was full of love, laughs and treasured memories. Chris's immediate and extended family were the fabric of his life and everyone was there at one or another, front and center, or fading to the background, always ready and willing. Devoted son of Linda M. (McGrath) Willhauck of Mansfield and Jeffrey D. Cosman of Sharon MA, Loving stepson of Paul Willhauck of Tewksbury, MA. Loving best friend and brother of Michael and Daniel Willhauck of Mansfield MA Cherished grandson of Margaret McGrath (Peg) and her late husband Neil J. McGrath (Pa) of Sharon and Enid Cosman of Sharon and her late husband Steven Cosman. Chris will always be with us, His spirit strong and our shared love infinite. From Chris and family to Peg Arguimbau, Gary Leroy, Rob Scaffiti, the Cape team and Jay from Children's 7 South. A true and heartfelt thank you. Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend Chris' Life Celebration on Wednesday, January 6, 2016 from 4-8 PM and Thursday, January 7, 2016 from 9-9:30 AM in the James H. Delaney & Son Funeral Home, 48 Common Street, Walpole. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in Our Lady of Sorrows Church, Cottage Street, Sharon on Thursday, January 7, 2016 at 10:00 AM.

Chris, I never minded going to "work" we shared some fun and amazing times together. My prayer to your family. You are singing with the Angels in God's house now. Amen

"May all the sweet memories of Christopher bring you solace during this time. I hope that all the great moments that you were able to have with him before he passed away bring you comfort." To live in the heart of those we love is never to die.
