Claud Davenport Cotten III

I thank Mark, Rick, Felton for introducing me to Claud back in the day. Claud was always nice to me and so sharp/smart. I miss him. Brian M, Birmingham AL

Claud, I looked up to you, and I never told you so. You were an inspiration to me when I was just a kid goofing around Birmingham- you had so many friends, a great job, a nice home, a fun personality - a future. I always enjoyed running into you and hanging out at your place. I am so sad that our paths never crossed again after I moved from Birmingham. My heart goes out to your family and friends.

Dear Cotten family,

Claude's passing marks a very sad time for many, many people. A man of quality, warmth and humor will be in our memory for a long time.

Sincerely,

Dan E. Downey

I would like to say that Claude was a very caring man. He would help anyone. When he came to Crestwood Park, he made the park a better place. With all his love and understanding, he made a difference in so many people. Mr. Cotten will be well missed.

Dr. and Mrs. Cotten,
I was so sad to hear of Claud's passing. He was a kind-hearted and remarkably caring man. I know many join you in your grief, but know the world is a better place because of him.
With deepest sympathy,
Seale "Brother" Ballenger

May God continue to keep and bless Claud's family. Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal. Claud was truly a blessing to many and an inspiration to those he met. Be Blessed.

Claud was a very wonderful person and blessed many children and families in the community. I have known Claud for only a few years. But the short period of time that I have known him, he has inspired me. Claud, you will be truly missed.

Dr. and Mrs. Cotten,
Lynn and I are so sorry to learn of your loss. Our deepest sympathy to your family. You are in our prayers.

I have known Claud for a few months, but within that time he has only displayed LOVE and CARING for the Wahouma Family. He will truly be missed.
