My son ,AM3 Jett, passed away 5-20-2008 at age 26 in a single vehicle motorcycle accident in Sparks Nevada..



Here is the story as I have put it together from numerous personal interviews. Basically he was leaving work and trying to catch up with his buddy, driving a little too fast and lost control of the bike. He slammed into a brick planter, up against a tree with full frontal impact and his bike tumbled over two unoccupied vehicles before coming to a rest. He died within moments and the shop owner held his hand until ambulance arrived 2 minutes later. He said that Jeremy probably didn't suffer much pain. No one else was hurt but it took me a day to even see him because it was a fatal accident and I had to arrange all the funeral stuff before they would release him. I have gotten my other son home from New Jersey and with Jeremy's girlfriend in tow, managed to visit his work, the scene and him.

Fair Winds and Following Seas Jeremy.
I love you and miss you Son...
Dad

I hope you and your wife and family are able to take some small comfort in the thoughts and prayers of your friends and church memebers. Please count us among them as well who consider you a Steadfast Elder in the Cochrane Family.
