Cochran, 66, was born on Nov. 29, 1943, in a log cabin just west of Roscoe, MO, to Iva Cochran and the late Blond E. Cochran. At the age of two, he and his parents moved to the current location where Iva still resides which is only about three miles from where Gary was born. Gary came to rest on the evening of Dec. 12, 2009, at his residence only three miles south of his childhood home. Gary was a very family-oriented man. He was very fortunate that his mother, brother, son, daughter, grandkids, uncle, cousins, and a nephew all lived within a five-mile radius of him. Gary graduated from El Dorado Springs High School in 1961. Gary joined the Army in 1964 and later returned home 1966. Gary met his loving wife of 40 wonderful years, Lavoye Hannah on Labor Day weekend September 1965. Gary and Lavoye married in June 1969. Their first big surprise came to Gary and Lavoye early in February 1973, which was their son, Cole E. Cochran. Their second big surprise came to them in May 1978, which was their daughter, Brandy D. Cochran. Their third big surprise came to them in 2001, which is when Brandy married Jason D. Matter, along with stepson, Jayson Bailey Matter in April 2001 and their first grandchild, Amie Matter, in September 2001. Cole married Tricia Patroske in October 2001. In the last eight years, the kids have added to the family a few more grandkids, Clay Matter, and Sammi and CeCe Cochran who were a huge part of Gary's life. Like waking up next to his loving wife every morning and always looked forward to seeing his kids and grandkids each and every day. Gary was a very dedicated and hardworking individual. Gary was a welder by trade, which he was very well known for, and a farmer by birth. Gary had his own business as a welder, Gary E. Cochran Welding. Gary was a very creative welder and would come up with his own inventions which he called CLEM. Each new CLEM would get a number which could be CLEM 25 today, and if you asked him in a couple of days, that same CLEM might be number 352. Gary liked messing with his cattle, building fence, and most of all working on the farm with his John Deere tractors. Gary liked to have what he called, quality time, which meant spending time with his wife, kids, grandkids and friends. Whether it was hunting, fishing, visiting for hours, having a weenie roast in the middle of the timber, taking pictures with the grandkids, or what he called "Gatorvating," wich is going for a ride on his John Deere gator, just riding around looking at the wildlife and the countryside. Gary was preceded in death by his father, Blond E. Cochran, and his father-in-law, "Buster" Hannah. Gary is survived by his wife, Lavoye Cochran; mother, Iva Cochrna; brother, Gerald Ray Cochran (and Jeannie); uncle Merle Cochran (and Joanne); aunts, Earlene Priemer, Independence, MO and Wilma Howard, state of Oregon; son, Cole Cochran (and Tricia); granddaughters, Sammi and CeCe Cochran; daughter, Brandy Matter (and Jason); grandkids, Bailey, Amie, and Clay, El Dorado Springs; brothers-in-law, Chris Hannah (and Lisa), Osceola; and Jerry Hannah (and Jennifer), Billings; nephews, Benny Cochran (and Lisa), Mark Cochran, and Jimmy Cochran (and Barbara), El Dorado Springs; Duel Hannah (and Angela "PeeWee", as Gary called her), Osceola; Justin Hannah (and Le Ann), Adrian, MO and a host of cousins, great nieces, and nephews and a large array of friends.
