Hobby was a classmate of mine at Central High School - he was always a great leader and friend throughout his life. He had the love and respect of his family and friends and he will be missed by many. You have earned your Angel wings, my sweet friend, so fly high as you travel through Heaven. R.I.P. dear Hobby.
I knew Hobby Cobb as one of my Dad's (Eric Jonas) best childhood friends. Their friendship included memories of AG basketball, Central High School days and more recently, through Central High monthly gatherings. Dad and Hobby's wonderful friendship taught me about the great value and joy of lifelong friendship. I am sad for your loss and for my Dad's loss of such a wonderful friend. I send peace and love to your family.

Uncle Hobby was always so kind and sweet to me. He looked as tall as a tree when I was little, but he would always bend down to talk to me. He looked me in the eye and hung on every word I was saying, making me feel like the most important person in the room. I’ll miss you Uncle Hobby. xoxo
Jim and I send love and prayers.
Hobby was so sweet and a dear friend to many!
We have many great memories of sitting across the aisle
from you at the
Davidson basketball games.
Go Cats!
We love you and your family.

Great Guy, good memories of Hobby from the ECU days with Steve and years after. Mary and I visited the Cobb’s at their condo on Fripp Island once ( 1986)? and we still talk about that special weekend. On going debate over who won at Bacci ball on the beach and shelling success. I also recall a weekend in New Jersey with the Cobb’s in 1981 that was very memorable. Hobby called me a few times over the years to say hello and check in. He was that kind of guy.
My condolences to the family.

God has gained a wonderful Angel. Uncle Hobby was a loving husband father Grandfather Uncle and all around great man, he commanded the room when he walked in with his height and that beautiful smile you just wanted to hug him! Prayers for Aunt Jane, Steve, Lisa Dave and your family's. I love you all, you are in my heart❤️
I have many Happy memories of this dear Man. He was a loving Husband to my Aunt Jane and a wonderful father to Steve, Lisa and Dave. As a child I always looked forward to seeing his smiling face as a grandmother he cracked me up always trying to make a “deal” to keep one of my Grandbabies. We love you Uncle Hobby and will miss you terribly...until we meet again.
