Tripp spent over a year with my daughter. We all came to love and care deeply for him. While his relationship with my daughter did not work out they still remained friends after he left. His passing has left a huge whole in my heart and I will always love the tender-hearted man that he was. My hope and prayer is that his suffering is over and that he is waiting for all of us to join him. May God bless you all and may he bring you comfort and peace.

We lived down the road from the Cochrans and my sister was in his graduating class and had his mom for a teacher - I remember him as a kid being hilarious and pulling pranks - from the number of tributes on his facebook page and on this page it sounds as if he grew into an amazing man. Fly with the angels, Tripp - fly!
Sorry to hear about Tripp may he rest in peace.

I was saddened to hear about Tripp. Faye, my heart goes out to you, Frank and Wilson. May God give you the peace that passes all understanding.
While my heart is broken and I have found it harder to laugh in a world without him, my hope in Christ's Resurrection grows stronger along with knowing our joy in heaven will be so much greater because of his presence there. Peace of Christ to each of you during these incredibally difficult times. May your hope in Christ be your navigation.
Tripp was truly an inspirational person. Life wasn't easy for him but I never saw him feel sorry for himself. He touched a lot of lives in his short time on this earth. He was encouraging to others and could always make you laugh no matter what the circumstance. It is a sad loss. Rest in peace Tripp.
