On October 3, Ian Alan Cochran, a talented young man from Brandon, Mississippi, joined our Heavenly Father after a courageous fight with a rare form of brain cancer. Ian graduated as an A student from Brandon High School in 2018, where he also excelled in extracurricular activities. He was a member of the tech club, served as president of the chess club, and was a talented soccer player. Ian was well liked for his humor, talent, and high-spirited attitude. Everyone who knew Ian remembers his lighthearted and friendly approach to life. As members of their Brandon Baptist Church family, my family and I joined Ian's parents, Joel and Kim; his sisters, Hope and Kayla; his grandparents; and his extended family and friends in remembering and celebrating his life and the positive mark he left on all of us who knew him. Madam Speaker, I now ask this body to join me in a moment of silence to remember Ian Cochran and to thank our Heavenly Father for the joy of Ian's life. ____________________
