Jerry Gobble Obituary
He was born January 4, 1961 in Lexington, NC to Page Donald Gobble and Mable Jo Morris Gobble. He is survived by a son, Joseph Darrell (JD) Gobble of Lexington; brother, Donald (Don) Gobble and wife Donna of Pittsburgh PA; sister, Donna Gobble Lookabill of Lexington.
Jerry was a loyal friend to those he loved. He was a die hard Steelers fan and attended as many games as possible with Donald, Ken (recently deceased) and various friends. He was a member of Sons of AMVETS Post 13 and enjoyed shooting pool and making jokes with his many friends there. He had a long career with PPG Industries and later became a conductor then engineer for Norfolk Southern Railroad.
Jerry's passion was to be on the water in a boat or fishing from the pier at Kure Beach.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Sending my deepest condolences and prayers to the Gobble family. JG and I worked a lot together on the RR and I just talked to him sometime in November after I retired and we were planning on going to lunch one day. He will truly will be missed.
