## Resource

Mobile County is heartbroken over the passing of Sheriff Sam Cochran, a 50-year public servant who died peacefully surrounded by loved ones. Known for his dignity, integrity, and unwavering commitment to protecting his community, Cochran leaves behind a legacy of leadership that spanned roles as Chief of Police and four terms as Sheriff. Colleagues and officials, including former Sheriff Huey “Hoss” Mack and State Rep. Shane Stringer, hailed him as a pillar of law enforcement whose influence will endure. His death marks a profound loss for Mobile County — a man whose life was defined by service, honor, and the quiet strength of doing the right thing every day.
