Joshua "Joshie" Cochrane 
February 9, 1981 – May 14, 2026 

 

 

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Joshua "Joshie" Cochrane on May 14, 2026, in Conception Bay South, at the age of 45. 

 

Joshie was a man known for his hardworking hands, generous heart, and willingness to help anyone in need. A skilled electrician, painter, plasterer, and true jack of all trades, there was very little he could not do once he set his mind to it. Whether it was fixing something for a neighbour, lending a hand to family, or showing up when someone needed support, Joshie was always the first to help without hesitation. 

Above all else, Joshie loved the water. An avid fisherman, his favorite days of the year were always the opening days of winter and summer fishing seasons. He found peace on the water, joy in the quiet mornings, and happiness in every cast. Fishing was never just a hobby to him — it was where he felt most at home. 

 

Joshie leaves behind to mourn with broken hearts his loving mother, Bernadette Cochrane (Perry); his beloved sons, Hudson (Natasha) and Nash; his sisters, Jessica (Josh) and Tammy (Randy); his brother, Timmy; Neice Alexis, Nephews Riley, Carter, Ryder and Jordan, along with many extended family members special cousins, friends, and all those whose lives he touched with his kindness and laughter. 

 

He was predeceased by his father, Norman Cochrane, Grandparents Thresa and Jim Cochrane and Ella and Albert Roche. 

 

Though life brought its struggles, Joshie faced them the best he could, and through it all he continued to care deeply for the people around him. His strength, humor, and helping spirit will never be forgotten. 

 

Funeral arrangements entrusted to Maher's Funeral Home, Placentia.  Visitation will take place at Sacred Heart Church, St. Bride's on Sunday, May 17th.  Mass of Christian Burial will take place 2:00pm on Monday, May 18th at Sacred Heart Church.  

 

 

"The life of a fisherman is simple and true, 
With the wind at his back and the pond in view. 
Now the waters are calm, and the skies softly gleam, 
As Joshie sails onward beyond every dream." 

 

 

Forever loved, forever missed.
