Harvey Albert Cockrill

Harvey Albert Cockrill, born in Crawfordsville, Arkansas on June 25, 1931, went to be with the Lord on December 7, 2022. He was preceded in death by his parents, Richard Prentice Cockrill and Mildred Cockrill; sisters, Dorothy Hooker, Evelyn McCrary, Juanita McNabb and Mildred Saucier; brothers, JP Cockrill and Richard Cockrill; and his wife, Nona Cockrill.

Cockrill, also of Laurel; grandchildren, Lee Cockrill, Prentice Cockrill (Tiffany), Melanie Glenn (Zach), Melissa Reid (Matt), and Megan Evans (Bradley); ten great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews. He will always be remembered for his love for Christ, his infectious smile, his immeasurable love and devotion to his precious wife, his love for his family, and his supply of chocolate chip cookies to give his great-grandchildren every Thursday when they came to visit. He will be remembered by so many for his love of horses and the memories he has given so many people who have housed their horses in his barns over the years. He formed the closest of friendships with many fellow horse-lovers. He was so lovingly cared for by Lesa Banks and Sonya Armstrong in his last days. His family is forever grateful for these wonderful ladies and their caring hands. His family is also incredibly appreciative of Comfort Care Hospice nurse, Whitney Williamson, who went beyond the call of duty to so tenderly care for him during his final days. He managed to put smiles on the faces of his loved ones and caregivers, even on his toughest days. He was a faithful member of Trinity Baptist Church. Pallbearers will be Lee Cockrill, Prentice Cockrill, Johnny Stringer, Zach Glenn, Matt Reid, and Bradley Evans. Services will be held at Memory Chapel Funeral Home on December 10, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. with the visitation preceding the service at 10:00 a.m. Interment to follow at Lake Park Hills Cemetery. Bro. Bill Blair and Bro. Randy Clark will officiate. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Trinity Baptist Church. To sign the online guestbook, please visit www.memorychapellaurel.com
