Perry Homer Cobb

Perry Homer Cobb, age 68, of Powell, TN, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, September 20, 2024. He was born April 13, 1956, in Middlesboro, KY, the son of the late Homer Cobb and Frances Teague Cobb who survives. 

Perry was a loving husband, son, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who cherished spending time with “Papaw’s little baby doll” Oceana. He loved deer hunting, catfishing, gardening, and tinkering around the family property. He loved serving the Lord and was a member of New Vine Missionary Baptist Church. 

He started out his career as a strip miner but spent the last 34 years as the yard loader operator at a rock quarry. He could operate most any heavy equipment, but he thoroughly enjoyed the front-end loader he ran, as demonstrated by how he kept the inside meticulously clean. 

In addition to his father, Homer Cobb; he was preceded in death by his father-in-law, Willie Gene Hatfield. 

Perry is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Jennifer.
