Support for Josh Cochran's Family
Donation protected
Words cannot describe the pain this family is going to be facing the next few days, weeks, months, and years.
Josh Cochran and his wife, Kala moved to Casper WY in Oct of 2023 with their 3 children.
At the age of 37 yrs. old, Feb. 4th 2025 Josh had a severe hemorrhagic stroke causing him to lose consciousness. This has wreaked havoc on his family. He was brought to the hospital by ambulance and placed on a ventilator. The first few days we thought he was showing signs of improvement, but then his condition drastically declined. Doctors informed us due to the amount of damage his brain sustained, if he did come out of the coma he would not be the same Josh that we all knew and come to love and he would not have any quality of life. It was not Josh's wish to live that way. On Feb 13th 2025 at 2:01 pm, Josh was taken off life support and took his last breath at 2:19 pm. Josh was an organ donor and was able to give the gift of life to at least 3 people immediately and up to 75 people within the upcoming days.
He was the sole financial provider for his family. He had no 401K or life insurance. His family could use all the help right now with living expenses and funeral costs until Kala can figure out the next steps for herself and her children. Kala is lost right now with 3 children depending solely on her.
If you can donate to Josh's family, Kala would be eternally grateful!
You can also donate through Venmo or CashApp instead. Kala’s Venmo is @KalaPatton and CashApp is $KalaCochran. Please send as a gift.
