Raymond Hobson Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Ray enjoyed spending time outside with his family hosting gatherings, time in the woods with his sons, and seeing his grandchildren grow through sports and extracurricular activities. He was an avid woodworker. He also spent several years on the Hayesville and Jeromesville Volunteer Fire Departments as an advanced EMT.
Ray will be remembered for his years coaching baseball and football. Never really growing up himself, he was approachable and relatable, allowing him to mentor many young athletes with kindness and a mischievous style.
He is survived by his wife, Jane Yoss Hobson, to whom he was married July 10, 1976; two sons, Jon (Amie) Hobson of Ashland and Ben (Suzi) Hobson of Wooster; 2 granddaughters, Saige and Margot; 1 grandson, Dylan; a brother, Larry Hobson of Chagrin Falls and two sisters, Colleen Hobson-Free of Ashland and Arlene Hobson of Seattle; mother-in-law Carolyn Yoss Bonesteel of Ashland; sister-in-law Kate (Brad) Long of Ashland; brother-in-law Charles (Ann) Yoss of Kettering, OH. Also surviving are 6 nieces and 2 nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother-in-law, Jim Free.
Calling hours will be Saturday April 12, 2025 from 3-5 pm at Fickes Funeral Home in Jeromesville.
