Stephen Cocklin Obituary

Stephen Scott Cocklin passed away on February 18, 2008 at the age of 42 after a courageous battle with cancer. Steve was an avid outdoorsman enjoying hunting and fishing with friends and family. Traveling to the Caribbean and Hawaii was always a great time for him and his family. Steve's memory will be carried in the hearts of Shelley, his wife; Garrett, son; brothers, Greg and Michael; sister, Martha; a network of many life-long friends as well as his family of co-workers at the Vancouver Police Department. He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Martha Becker; his father, Lewis Cocklin; and his mother, Margaret Cocklin. A memorial service will be held at New Heights Church, Monday, February 25 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Garrett's college fund at any IQ C Credit Union branch.
