As a young man in love with his drums, it is a shock to me that he passed away so young. Greg played those drums in jazz band, pep band, marching band and concert band @ Jason Lee Jr. High. To Greg's family my sincere condolences.

I don't know what to say to Greg's family other than I truly loved Greg as a student, an athlete, and a person. Greg's time on earth has been cut short, but his impact on many of us lives on. Prayers to all his loved ones.

To the Cobb Family,
I am so saddened to hear about the passing of Greg. My memories of Greg are filling my thoughts, his love of music and family. The stories he shared about growing up. My favorite was his fear of the planes as they flew over the family home :) His great sense of humor, always being the jokester in the group. His generosity. I remember Gregs tender heart.
May you all hold dear the fond memories you have. You are all in my heart, thoughts and prayers today, tomorrow and always.
