Concert honors man killed in London

The life of a Utah man who ran a recording studio at his home before he was killed in a high-profile London attack was celebrated Saturday with the local music he loved.

The concert was held in lieu of a traditional funeral for Kurt Cochran, 54, his brother-in-law, Clint Payne said. It was an easy decision on how to honor the man who also helped with music festivals and high school productions.

“He’s done so much for the music scene,” Payne said. Cochran’s wife, Melissa, suffered a broken leg in the March 22 attack and arrived at the concert using crutches.

Kurt Cochran was thrown from London’s Westminster Bridge when he and his wife were struck by a sport utility vehicle that plowed into a group of pedestrians.
