Brian was a true friend to me and many others at Jesuit. Unfortunately, our paths crossed only a few times after graduation but on each occasion, he was always the same genuine friend I had known in school. Brian was a wonderful man who never lost that youthful smile and his ability to create laughter and joy. He will certainly be missed be me and a multitude of others who were fortunate enough to know him. The Alvarez family extends our sincerest sympathies to the Cobb family and we will keep you all in our prayers.

Brian,
In the short time we worked together at Haas Factory Outlet, it was very clear what a great and caring person you were, never upset, never frazzled with anything and always there to help in any way you could. It was a real pleasure and honor to have known you, I will be missing your funny emails, jokes and great personality.
RIP my friend……. God bless the Cobb Family in this very difficult time.

I met Brian when I worked at Fowler White. He was the hardest working and most friendly employee. Then he went to work at Home Depot and I was so happy to see him there. He is one of the most sincere, warmest and outstanding friend I could ever have. Watch over us Brian and your gators. My condolences to your family. Love you Brian. Sue Mansker

I met Brian in 1987 at USF and although in a rival fraternity, always a proponent of what was right regardless of all other distractions. To his last day he made me laugh and I always admired the consistency of his care for others without bias. Thanks for making me laugh as often as you did. RIP and save me a seat upstairs please.

I met Brian in 1990. He was dating my good friend Debra Bell. My husband Michael and I went on many double dates with Brian and Debra. When we moved to Brandon, we spent may weekends hanging out with Brian at the Bell's household. That seems like yesterday. Brian was always the life of the party, and such a caring person. He will be greatly missed.

My past student at Jesuit High School and my friend since 1980, you inspired me with your love of others, being a man for others and doing good for others. Your smile is ever present as is your sense of humor. Despite your short time on this earth, you touched many and left a lasting legacy. I am proud to have had you in my life. I am going to miss your emails and humor. Until we meet again Brian, Go Gators and God bless your family in their time of sorrow.

Already missing his warm hugs and amazing shoulder massages. Brian was so supportive of his friends and never met a stranger - a truly kind soul. Almost 10 years ago we were celebrating memories of his mom. It's so surreal that we are now doing the same for him. I know he will be watching over us all. He will be expecting us to live life socially and fully. And every chance I get, I will raise my glass to honor his memory. Here's to Brian!

Brian was a wonderful life long friend. A true gentleman who sincerely cared for others. Looking at the photo here says it all. He was happy, full of spunk, loved life and enjoyed it to its fullest. There was certainly never a dull moment with Brian, as he could liven up a room with his strong wit. . I bet he has all the angels in heaven laughing as they get to enjoy him now. I along with many others will miss him. I feel blessed to have had him in my life and all of the Cobb clan. My heart and prayers are with all of you.
