Ryan Cochran, Retired Chief of Police, Father, Friend

RYAN COCHRAN

Father • Son • Friend

It is with a heavy heart that we share the recent and sudden passing of Ryan. Ryan passed away on March 11, 2025 surrounded by his immediate family and closest friends.

Ryan was not only the retired Chief of Police and dedicated member of the Susanville Police Department, he was a loving father, dedicated partner, amateur comedian, and the worst poker player in history.

Many of you have supported his family over the last few weeks, to which they are beyond grateful. Yet, there are so many of you asking, “What can I do?” or, “How can I be of support?” At the request of Ryan's compassionate and supportive community, this GoFundMe has been set up to assist with services, in both Northern and Southern California, Attorney & Probate fees for his estate, medical bills, and other unknown future expenses. This is in no way a request for donations but rather, a response to those who have the desire to make a monetary contribution of any kind.

Thank you in advance for your words of wisdom, kindness, and love. Your gift, no matter the size, will make a difference in supporting Ryan's family through this challenging journey. Together, we can honor Ryan’s legacy and provide his loved ones with the assistance they need as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.

All donations should be directed to and made through this GoFundMe per his family. Any remaining funds will be donated to FIRST RESPONDER WELLNESS in Huntington Beach, CA.

Services have yet to be organized. Family and friends will be notified in the near future.
