Ivan Grant Cock, 62 of Lyons Brook, passed away on Thursday, October 20, 2016 in the Aberdeen Hospital with his family at his side and his son in his heart.
Ivan was born in Truro on March 3, 1954, a son of the late Arnold and Lola (Thompson) Cock of Durham.
In his early working years, Ivan was employed at Michelin Tire and N.S.P.C. He returned to his farming roots first at his own farm in Green Hill and later with his brother on Cinnabar Farm in Plainfield. In 1998, he purchased D.& G. Construction in Sylvester, being well known for the manufacturing of roof trusses.
He enjoyed three wheeling, ATV’s and racing, going to his camp, and snowmobiling in the winter with his buddies, especially with his son-in-law, Matthew. Golfing took over as his preferred summer sport. Other interests included boating, his 1974 Cuda, and his family gatherings at Pebble Beach.
Ivan was well known for telling jokes and was a caring person who was always willing to help out anyone in need. He had a love for life with his family always being most important, especially times spent with his grand-daughters.
