Rev. Dr. Christopher Von Cockrell

May the Lord Jesus and our God bring peace and comfort to the New Alpha Missionary Baptist family. Also, may the Lord Jesus comfort Rev. Dr. Christopher Von Cockrell's family in Jesus name. Rev. Ramona Dela Cruz Guadalupe Vermont

Sis Hughes and I were indelibly impacted by the ministry of the Reverend Doctor Christopher Von Cockrell. It was on the New Alpha Missionary Baptist facebook page where Sis Hughes first discovered Reverend and Lady Cockrell looking for a church home in Burlington, VT. They quickly gained the attention of the church family and we fortunately were able to ultimately install him as our Pastor. My personal relationship with him flourished and we became inseparable as friends. I carry so many warm and funny stories from the man who would become much more than a friend but a confidant and mentor. He was full of hope, genuine and thoughtful. His life and ministry instruction have proven invaluable in our home, my life and in my ministry. We both miss the man of God, though we know and understand that it was time for him to go home. We are truly fortunate that we had the opportunity to meet this man, the first lady and his family. Months will turn to years yet will will never forget this incredibly unique man that God saw fit to place in our lives. We know that Chris is with the Lord but even that doesn't take away that sense of loss that we feel in his absence.

We pray that the Lord bring the first lady and the family peace in this trying time of their loss. We stand with the family and friends and remain committed to a continued lifetime of love and support. We do this not only in the spirit of our church covenant but because of the heart relationship that we have with this family and the gift of the friendships that have been resultantly offered to us.

May the Lord keep us all...

My deepest and most sincere condolences to you my Sister,Manda,Chris,and Khristen I love you all

To my best friend I can't believe you are gone, we have so many memories I will never forget. My heart hurts, but I know you are resting in God arms. I pray that God give your family strength and they lay you to rest. I won't say good bye but see you later. Rest on my Friend.

Cheryl, please know that you have my deepest sympathy. Chris and l go back 39 years and l couldn't have asked for a better friend. His wise counsel and his calm, peaceful presence was a stable influence on me during our Mississippi Valley State University years. A man of love, a man of peace and a man of simplicity all sum up the man he was. Rest Chris! You've won all the battles! You're in God's eternal care now! Rest well my brother and friend...🕊🙏🏾

Thanks for all your words of encouragement, thanks for all the small talks, thanks for the opportunities you provided for me, thanks setting examples for me, and most importantly thanks for being you. You will truly be missed, but you will truly live on.

To the entire Cockrell, you're in my prayers.

May God Bless, comfort and give you strengthen during this difficult time. I know God will heal your broken heart and give you peace . Words cannot express the way you feel. I know, I've been there before. The memories you shared with each other will be there to enjoy. Sometimes you might laugh through your tears, sometimes you will laugh so hard. Great Memories is something you have to hold on too. When earth is no longer their home. Chris and I talked on the phone right before Thanksgiving, I was excited about the Bible class I'm taking. We was discussing the book of Jude and all the thing I had learned in this class. We had great talks and I truly miss him. Cousin: Jessica Amerson-Dobbs, Birmingham, AL

We were very sad to hear of Chris' passing. He was such a special person and will be sorely missed. I know there are no words that can ease your pain, but please know we are thinking of you and praying for you to remain strong during this time. The Porter, Earnest, and Everett families.

I will never forget you, Pastor. Rest in Perfect Peace.

Love always, Tyeastia G.

I will love you always

Family, I love each and every one of you. GOD is able and will comfort us all. Let us not forget who holds all we desire and all we have and need. Chris you were a great friend, brother and inlaw and GOD Father who offered sound advice and were a comfort to us all. THANK YOU AND I THANK GOD FOR LENDING YOU TO US.
