April & Kathryn
March 21, 2024
I will remember and know him always as Mr. Cobb, and helping his granddaughter Liv pick, raise and care for her market hogs. He was always watchful of the Pig Barn. I miss seeing him driving his ol red truck to and from the barn. These last few months have not been the same and he will forever be missed as a mentor to so many that met him. We are grateful for his love, support and guidance in helping us as well. He would always be the first one to offer to haul piggies to shows and supported the girls. My heart goes out to his sweet and loving wife. May you know that the love and atonement of Christ will reunite you and your sweetheart again to add to your 51 years of marriage. Please know we are here for anything any of you need. Love April, Kathryn and family.
