It is with great sadness that the family of the late Patrick Joseph Cochrane, announce his passing at the Placentia Health Care Center on January 14, 2023 at the age of 60,in the presence of his Uncle Mike Martin and friend Donna, after a short courageous battle with cancer. Paddy leaves to mourn with fond and loving memories his devoted partner Millie Hall and his loyal fur buddies: Rocky and Tigger who never left his side. Also left to mourn his only child Ryan Cochrane (Toronto) and his 3 beautiful grandchildren: Hailey Jade, Tanner Owen, and Benjamin Micheal. He also Ryan take comfort in knowing he is at peace and reunited with his parents, your Nan and Pop Cochrane. Paddy will also be remembered lovingly by his 3 brothers and 2 sister, Bill (Emma), Tom (Tracy), Mike (Robyn),Rose (Rodney)and especially Lolly (Steve) who was always their for him. Paddy could do no wrong in her eyes, With every spat they had they became ever closer. Family and friends are a very important part of a persons life. Paddy was very fortunate as he had another family who were always there for him. The Red Island Mulrooneys. Paddy shared a special friendship very important part of his life, and I want to thank you all: Gary (Carol), Jennifer (Jeff), Heidi (Matt), Frankie (Melissa), and especially his best friend Jimmy and a large number of nieces and nephews and other relatives and friends . Paddy was the apple of our mother's eye could never do no wrong. He never claimed to be a saint and in his younger years would prefer to scrap (him and his buddy Harold Kearley) than to eat. Paddy was a very protective of his siblings and his friends and would fight tooth and nail to ensure no one said or did anything to offend them. Paddy was pre-deceased by his parents Marie and Peter Cochrane, and his best friends wife: Neet Mulrooney and most surely they were their to greet him. Donations in Paddy's Memory can be made to St. Anne's School Breakfast Program. Paddy loved children and many of his nieces and nephews have attended or will attend to St.Annes School. RIP Paddy.
