Richard Craig Cochran

Steve & I and Jesse want to express our thoughts & prayers for peace to you, the family of Ricky, He was one of the special people in our lives today. We started our friendship as freshman in Highschool, walking and playing in the rain on the way home from school that is one of the many memories I have.

You fought a good fight Rick!!

(From Kristin Aguilar, daughter of Rick's friend Sandy Rock)- Rick will be missed very much. He had such a great laugh, and he always tried to be in high spirits. I am so glad that I had a chance to know him, and meet him a couple years back. He will always be here with us in our hearts. I bet he is even carving wood with God!
