Coby Gent Obituary
Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, doctors said he would not live to be six years old. However, he had successful double lung transplant at age 13 at the University of North Carolina Hospital. After graduation he moved to Destin, Fla., and worked at the Back Porch Restaurant and the Hard Rock Café. He married Christina Harden of Niceville, Fla., and they lived in Destin. Coby made such a difference in many lives, including his family, his friends and his health caregivers. A friend said he was a mighty warrior. He was our "Super Coby."

I have many good memories of Trish and Todd and remember when Coby was born.
I'm sorry we lost touch all these years. I saw the Super Coby video on YouTube. Great tribute
