Brandon amd I were closer as kids and as teens. Throughout the years we would speak. We always wish well for eachother and did little check ins about our family.

We also shared things together that I will never forget. My favorite time was going to the beach with my brother, Chris Kostovic/Tyler Cobb/Shelley & Bobby and seeing my favorite animal(dolphin) for the first time. I believe it was at ocean lakes but it was so long ago.


Brandon's family always made anyone feel loved and cared deeply for him. Bobby raised Brandon to be a "man" but he really adorned his mom. Shelley was and is a role model of a woman. He would have done anything for her and always praised her. Anytime Id say his mother was amazing, he would smile with his dimples.

He also loved his brother Tyler Cobb. They would play all kind of games together. Run around Chapel grove together.

Brandon loved the Yankees, UNC Charlotte , and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Anytime they play to this day, I think of him and his daddy Bobby rooting for them!

He had a plethora of friends. Very mellow, loving and always thought outside the box.

Rest in Peace Brandon Cobb

I wish my condolences to all his family.
