James Michael Cobb

James Michael Cobb, age 62, of Avon Park, FL, passed away Tuesday, September 14, 2021.  He was born May 10, 1959 in Avon Park, FL to James Kermit and Betty Ruth (Barefield) Cobb.  He was Owner & Operator of Cobb Roofing, Elder at Life Church of Avon Park, High School Softball Coach for 13 years, and has been a lifelong resident of Avon Park, FL.

Mike loved big, gave big, and worshiped God even bigger. Whether he impacted your life as a family member, friend, coach, business acquaintance or church member he poured out everything he had to make you feel special.  There were very few short conversations with Mike, he loved fellowship and always had a story to tell from the greatness of God to wild hunting adventures.  To say he was a family man is an understatement, he cherished the time with family more than anything in this world and poured everything he had into creating a little piece of heaven on Earth.  He was an amazing son, brother, husband, and father but nothing compared to him as a Papa. The grandkids were absolutely the joy of his life. Mike will be deeply missed here on Earth, but there is peace in knowing that we will be with him again in Heaven….

“If you only knew!”
