JERRY BRYAN COBB

Jerry Bryan Cobb, 48, passed away on October 9, 2012 at his home in Ruston, 
La. after a courageous battle with melanoma. Born on April 17, 1964 in Ruston, 
La., he has lived most of his life in Ruston but also lived briefly in Monroe, 
Houston, Metairie, La. and Little Rock, Ark. before always returning to his 
beloved Ruston. He graduated from Ruston High School in 1982 where he played 
center for the Bearcat football team and was winner of the Hoss Garrett Award. 
He was a graduate of Louisiana Tech University in 1988 with a B.A. degree. 
Jerry held several jobs over the years, but most recently he worked with 
special needs and at risk children in Livingston, Union, and Lincoln Parishes. 
His most recent job was with the District Attorney's office in its 
Lincoln/Union Truancy Assessment Service Center. 

Jerry will be remembered as an avid outdoorsman, outstanding athlete, dog 
lover, grill master and devoted fan of the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. We will 
miss his sharp sense of humor, his optimism, his kindness and sincere interest
