John "Mike" Cochran

John "Mike" Cochran, 85, of Perkasie, husband of Suzanne (Berry) Cochran, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, November 30, 2024.

Born in West Reading, PA, Mike was the son of the late Eugene M. and Ethel (Beane) Cochran. He had a long and successful career as a finance manager for several local car dealerships, including the former Davis Auto Dealership in Richboro and the former Ken Carr Auto Dealership in Quakertown. Mike was known for his dedication and respected work ethic in the automotive industry.

Beyond his professional life, Mike found great joy in being near the water and had a love for golfing. As a young man, Mike spent many happy days at the family bungalow at Maiden Creek in Berks County, where he shared countless adventures—and misadventures—with his cousin, Tom. These cherished memories shaped much of his youthful spirit and sense of fun.

Mike was a devoted family man. He is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Suzanne, and their two children: Stacey Millheim, wife of Christopher, and James M. Cochran, husband of Hilary. He also leaves behind six beloved grandchildren: Nicholas, Amy, Riley, Alex, Laney, and Katherine; and son-in-law, Sean Delaney. Along with his parents, Mike was predeceased by his daughter, Lisa Delaney.

Services will be held privately at a later date.
