I send my deepest sympathy to the entire Cobert family.Kenny and I were teammates on Horace Mann's basketball team 75-78. He was a good friend with a great spirit.I will always remember K-Cobb and the good times we had. REST IN PEACE.

To Melinda, Mrs Ward (Colbert), Wendy, Dawn & the whole Colbert family my deepest sympathies. It feels so surreal, like a bad dream. But yes our heavenly father has called my brother home. I, like so many others go all way back to Taney St in the late 60`s. We even came to ATL in the 80`s around the same time. My prayers will ALWAYS be with the family. If there`s anything you need don`t hesitate to ask.
Love Keith & Mae Clayton

To the Colbert Family,
I want everyone to know that Kenney had made his peace with the Lord. I know this because he told me and Glen Holland. From Fifth Ave in Gary, to Buford Hwy, to Peachtree Road in Atlanta, for over thirty years we were friends. With respect and admiration I bid my brother adieu.
I was the one who gave him the nickname K-Cobb after seeing several amazing pitches.

To the Family of Kenny,

My deepest sympathy to you. I graduated with Kenny from Horace Mann in 1978. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. May God comfort and strengthen you at this difficult time. Rest in peace Kenny, my friend. You are with God now.

Wendy, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones
