January 31, 1950 ~ June 11, 2019

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of David Wayne Cochran on June 11, 2019 in St. James, MO. 

Dave was born January 31, 1950 and lived a fulfilling life.  After serving honorably in the United States Air Force, he suffered the long effects of war but did so with the support of his wonderful family.  Following his service, Dave owned a computer services company.  In his later years, he spent most of his time serving others and enjoying his grandchildren. 

He is preceded in death by his parents, Cpt. Charles L. Cochran and Mary Shafer, and brother Bobby Cochran, and is survived by his wife, Jane Bollin; children, Patricia Sexauer (husband Sam Sexauer), Mia Prier (husband Jon Prier), and Raj Bollin (Wife, Nicole Bollin); grandchildren, Jaclyn, Sadie, Alexis, Robert, Haley, Sophia, Caleb, Lincoln, Amira, and Mason; siblings, Andy Cochran, Dennis Cochran, Jeff Cochran, Meri Lou Christensen, Phillip Cochran.
