Zebedee Cobbs Obituary

Zebedee "Zeb" Cobbs, beloved husband, father, grandfather, Navy veteran, master barber, and devoted servant of faith and community, peacefully entered his heavenly home on February 11, 2026, at age 75.

Born in Galveston, Texas, Zeb later made Washington State his home after serving honorably in the United States Navy. In 1972, he began a lifelong love story with his wife of 51 years, Betty "BJ" Cobbs. Family was his greatest pride and joy.

Zeb devoted more than five decades to his craft as a master barber and business owner, retiring in 2023. His barbershop was a trusted gathering place marked by wisdom, laughter, and genuine connection.

A man of steadfast faith, Zeb accepted Jesus Christ at an early age and faithfully served as a deacon at Second Baptist Church. He also gave nearly 29 years of service to the Rotary Club of Everett.

He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Dr. Betty Cobbs; his sons, Zebulun (Cheery Mae) and Zachary (Vicky); his four grandsons, Isaiah, Isaac, Adrian, and Julian; siblings; extended family; and dear friends.

A public viewing will be held at 10:00 a.m. on February 26, followed by an 11:00 a.m. service at Second Baptist Church in Everett.
