Also surviving are brothers, Curt and Tammy; and Chris and Susan; sisters Shiloh and Gena; a niece and nephews, Cree, Mason, Gevin, Payton, Dario Coccodrilli and Noah Purvis; extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends.

Cousin Chuck. Forever you hold a dear part of my heart along with your brothers Chris, Curt, Uncle Chuck, Uncle Gus and all my Jessup Coccodrilli family. You were one to bring joy and forever childhood memories. Fishing, tractor rides, dairy barns, viva San Georgia, laughs, love and all the unconditional love a true family member brings. My heart is crushed. I´ll miss you forever.

I knew Chuch since he was a child since his Dad was one of my best friends. He had the best attitude of anyone I ever met, especially given the adversary in his life. We hunted together and had many good times with him. He was a wonderful person and I loved him. RIP my friend

Coccodrilli family you are in our prayers at this time. Loved talking with Chucky such a personable guy. Loved him like a brother. Curt and Chris and all the Sylcosan gang have another hole in their hunting family. He will be missed. I know every time I pick up the 270 mannlicher 270 on my deer stand I will be thinking of the guy who sold it to me and the smile on his face when I went to pick it up. I will say a prayer for Chucky.
Now within the rest of the hunting buddies
