Steven Cocking Obituary
Steve was born in Tucson, Arizona on October 11, 1970, and lived a life of service, love, and generosity. He was a devoted husband to Andrea Cocking and a proud father to his two children, Chase Cocking (wife Hadassah) and Kasey Cocking (fiancée Micah). He was the beloved son of Ruth and David Cocking and a cherished brother to Jeffrey Cocking.
Steve served his country honorably as a Navy veteran and dedicated his career to protecting his community as a law enforcement officer. Being an officer for nearly 30 years, Steve demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to justice, his profession, and the community he served.
Known for his generous heart, kind spirit, and sense of humor, Steve brought warmth and light into the lives of everyone he met. Whether offering a helping hand to a neighbor or sharing a laugh with friends, Steve's easygoing and loving nature left an unforgettable mark. He was a steadfast and devoted husband, a nurturing and proud father, and a man who truly cared for those around him. His dedication to family and country was unmatched, and his legacy will live on in the lives of the people he touched.
A memorial service and reception will be held to honor Steve's life on January 11, 2025, at Valley View Southern Baptist Church in Snowflake, Arizona at 11am MST.
Condolences and flowers may be sent to Silver Creek Mortuary in Taylor, Arizona.
Steve will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the community he served so faithfully.

I first met Steve thru my dad. They were partners at one point in their careers and became best friends and brothers over time. The first time I met Steve, it was in a game of fortnite. Over the next 7 years, Steve and I became great friends and spent many many nights online playing fornite or call of duty. Ill always be grateful to Steve for being like a second dad to me. Steve was simply just a great guy eith a great sense of humor. Im gonna miss the hell out of him but im so grateful for all the time I did get. My heart goes out to his family for their loss and I'll always look out for them because I know he'd so the same for me.
Love ya buddy

I was having a tough few months and was spending the night at my papa's house, Steve's best friend. We were playing a video game together and he asked me about how life was, I explained how I didn't know what I was doing and that I was worried about high school, my job and ect. Steve told me to take everything as it comes to me, don't waste time worrying about things that aren't even happening yet. We would also always go back and forth and I would always win by making fun of his last name haha. Rest in peace Steve, you're so missed.

Steve was an amazing person. Quick-witted, kind, and always up for a laugh, I was glad to call him friend - family.

I´m from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I didn´t know Steve in the real world, but we shared many parallels. A husband, father, dog lover and a gamer.
I found Steve through a friend and we enjoyed playing games together to unwind from the hustle bustle of life. He was a good soul and loved his family dearly.
May the family find comfort in the memory of a great man and may Steve rest in peace.
To me, he will forever be, Silveradoman.
