Kenneth Cochran

Kenneth Ross Cochran was a devoted and loving Papa, Father, Uncle, Brother, and Friend. He left this world suddenly on September 18, 2023, at the age of 75. His battle with serious medical issues in recent years showed his courage in facing life challenges with a smile. Despite the pain, Kenneth came out as a hero and stayed strong until the end. He was a wonderful Papa who was always there when we needed him. He had many friends, family and was well loved member of the community. His cheerful attitude and bright smile will be missed by everyone.

Kenneth was born to Opal Bloodsworth and Hugh Cochran on January 05, 1948, In Atlanta, Ga. He had two beautiful daughters: Tracy Cochran and Tina Cole. He was a proud Papa to five grandkids: Laura Adar, Meranda Gomez, Jesus Gomez, Deanna Cole, and Michael JR.

Kenneth will be lovingly remembered by his daughter, Tracy, Grandkids – Laura, Meranda, Jesus, Deanna, Michael Jr. and numerous other family members and friends.

Kenneth was predeceased by his loving daughter Tina, Siblings – James, Janis, Carol, Donna Jean, and Ted.

If you ever had a chance to sit down with Kenneth, you would know he always had a trick up his sleeve. Ready to pull a coin out your ear and have you amazed with his Magic. He brought Magic alive to everyone’s lives. Not only was he an amazing Magician he was the most talented artist you would come across. It was always an honor to listen to his life stories, you’d think you were watching a movie. Papa has traveled far and wide ... through Atlanta lol. He could tell you the city like it was the back of his hand. He had many great accomplishments in his life – from owning a restaurant to excelling in his HVAC career – the best heating and air man you could call. The buildings he built in his life will always remind us of him, as well as other great works and accomplishments he achieved. He would accomplish anything he set his mind to do. He was the Strongest and most stubborn man you’ll meet.
