Adam Cochran Obituary

Celebration of the life of Adam Keith Cochran, 32, of Gadsden, Ala., will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 22, 2014, at Collier-Butler Chapel. The family will receive friends from 1 p.m. until time of service. The Rev. Larry Garrard will officiate. Adam died March 19, 2014. Collier-Butler Funeral and Cremation Services is directing.
He was born to Herbert Keith Cochran and Melissa DeVine Mitchell, Sept. 24, 1981, in Gadsden, Ala. Adam graduated from Central High School, Tuscaloosa, Ala., in 2000. He never married.
Adam loved life and lived it to its fullest. He was always happy, and had the most infectious smile that lit up any room. The most important thing in his life was his family, and he always surrounded himself with family and friends. He was most content doing anything outdoors - baseball, hunting, fishing, waterskiing, playing with his dogs, riding four wheelers and motorcycles. However, he was truly in his element riding and caring for his horses.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Leacil and Katheryn DeVine.
He was survived by his parents, Herbert Keith and Teresa Cochran, Melissa and Dennis Mitchell; brother, Micah Cochran; sisters, Dana (Todd) Teague, Amy (Stephen) Dewey and Wendy Hyche; grandparents, Herbert M. and Jo Cochran, Thomas and Lloy Reed; nephews, Taylor, Clay and Wesly Teague; and niece, Corbin Lynn Dewey.
Pallbearers will be Todd, Taylor, Clay, Wesly Teague, Blake DeVine, Wayne Watwood and Don Crane. Honorary pallbearers will be Jerry Cline, Jimmy Bowen and Tim Osborne.
