Patrick Dean Cochrane

Pat was a dedicated teacher at Coon Rapids High School for 42 years, director of driver's education for district 11, and an avid car enthusiast. Pat was a mentor to many of his students and touched many lives throughout his career.

He was preceded in death by parents, Leslie "Bud" and Yvonne Cochrane; brother, William "Bill" Cochrane; and nephew, Patrick Cochrane.

Patrick is dearly missed by his wife of 43 years, Rae Ann (nee Primer) Cochrane; sons, Bryan (Abbie Turpin) Cochrane, Bradley (Lizzy Wolslayer) Cochrane; nieces and nephews and their families, Sarah (Dave), Anne (Shane), and Bill (Sherry); and many close friends, co-workers, students, and neighbors.
