Jerry dedicated his life to hard work and service through a diverse career that included roles at Demco, Tinker Air Force Base, The City of Midwest City, Chandler Bakery and Kimray. His strong work ethic and commitment to excellence were evident in every position he held.

A devoted Oklahoma City Thunder fan, he rarely missed a game. He also took great pride in watching his grandchildren excel in their own athletic endeavors.

Family was the cornerstone of Jerry’s life. He shared a loving marriage with his wife of 49 years, Mary Jane Cochran, who stood by his side through all of life’s seasons. Together they raised a family that brought him endless pride and happiness. He is survived by his wife, “Janie”, their 3 children, Stacy Goad (James), Kerrie Cochran, and Dustin Cochran (Rindi) as well as his cherished grandchildren, Kaidynce, Claire, Madelyn, Blayklee, & Hunter and his fearless four-legged companion Georgie. Jerry also leaves behind his brother, Gary Cochran of Sparks, Oklahoma and sister, Patty Smith of Nicoma Park, Oklahoma, along with numerous nieces and nephews who will fondly remember him. He was preceded in death by his parents, Levi & Ethel, and brothers Larry and Tommy.
