Jack Cochise

Observing you both these difficult years should have been quite an eye opener to everyone observing your strong submission to God's will and unwavering faith. What a testimony your example has always been! Love you Michelle!

When first I met Jack and Michelle Cochise it was as a representative of IMPS, a Miniature Pinscher rescue and adoption service.
Among my thoughts before I met them was they are going to be wonderful adopters as they had traveled from Tampa to Mobile to adopt Shelby, one of my fosters and medically neglected by her previous owners. After all it was a long way to travel for a dog they really had no knowledge of except that she needed people who would love and care for her. I was right, Jack and Michelle were everything I hoped they would be. Kind, loving and good Christians. Michelle was every bit a lady and Jack, yes he was every bit a gentleman. Jack had an aura of goodness that I still believe to this day was Godliness.
They invited me to dine with them that evening which surprised me because they didn't know me but they gave kindness to a stranger who had traveled from Texas with a common goal... to give a sweet dog a home.
Although we never saw each other again, we kept in touch through the internet through the years.
My memory of Jack will always be of a true Christian gentleman.
God bless Jack. Until we meet again.

Dear Cochise Family,
My heart is with you during this difficult time. Jack was such a wonderful man, and he will continue to be wonderful up in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Rest in Heaven Peacefully Jack

Don and I send our heartfelt condolences to Michelle and family. I was blessed to meet Jack at the Pharmacy as a customer and later got to know both of them. Then found out that we had a connection with a very close friend of theirs through Don's past. It is amazing how God brings people together. Jack and Michelle fought a very long and brave battle with a terrible disease, but God wins, He now embraces Jack every day - and we know that we will see him again. He is waiting with open arms to greet his family and friends. Love you Michelle!

We are heartbroken Michelle our daughter, for your loss of our son in law and your husband, Jack. You both fought the battle together and yours' is a love story. We will always remember our times together in Colorado, San Diego, and of course Tampa.
Not enough. We remember a gentle soul, a technical mind, a loving husband, a purveyor of native American history, lover of food and cooking, and most of all a Christian who practiced his deep faith, and loved his wife deeply. We are so grateful we were able to have Jack in our lives.

My sincerest condolences to the Cochise Family for the loss of your loved one, Jack, and pray you find comfort in Psalms 91:2.

My sincere condolences to you, Michelle and family. I had the privilege of seeing Jack on my drives home and from my back yard as he sat peacefully in his back yard and seemed to reminisce and take the life he was blessed with in. His words of guidance and wisdom that he shared with me will remain close to my heart. God bless you all.

I was honored to know Jack. He was always so kind. My love, condolences and prayers for Michelle and her family. Jack is now at peace and he is well loved!

Dear Family
Johnny & I were so privileged to have Jack grace us with his friendship. His personal care & loyalty to his personal creed to share a beautiful dream catcher with Johnny as a spontaneous gift just because he knew it was admired was heart catching. The ability to impact in a brief moment deep into the heart of another comes only to those who live intentionally. Rare among men.
We praise The Lord for the strength He shared with Jack to serve Him all the days of his life here on Earth.
We carry your family in love and prayers till we are all together in the presence of our soon coming King.

Love
Colleen & Johnny Ciani
