Lou “Sonny” E. Cobb Jr., age 79, of Madison, passed away Monday, November 9, 2020 peacefully at home. He was born May 14, 1941 in Mentor, OH the son of Rose H. (Namestnik) and Louis E. Cobb Sr. He married Patricia A. Huwe on September 14, 1974 in Grand River, OH.
Lou was a proud Veteran serving in the Army during the Vietnam War. He was a member of Chapel Methodist Church in Madison. Lou enjoyed wood burning as well as working on computers. He helped countless friends navigate thru computer problems and fixed old computers, giving them away to those in need. Many of his friends and family called him “Sonny,” which represented his sunny disposition. No matter what life had in store, he always had a sunny way of looking at things and encouraging others. He had a great sense of humor.
Lou had lost his leg years ago and one example of his great sense of humor was volunteering at his church to sit with a fake bloody leg to the surprise of little ones at their annual Trunk-or-Treat. He loved going to Holiday Campground with Pat, spending many summer days there. Most of all Lou loved spending time with his family.
He is survived by his wife, Pat; sons, Michael (Sandra) Cobb; Lee (Susie) Cobb; grandchildren, Ryan, Faith, Evan; sister-in-law’s, Mary Snider,Valeree Huwe; many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Marge Pepka; brother-in-law, Jimmie Snider and infant twin sister who passed away at birth.
Friends will be received from 2 to 5:00 p.m., Saturday November 14, 2020 at the Behm Family Funeral Home, 26 River St. Madison, OH 44057. Private family services will be observed.
Guests are required to follow current pandemic guidelines, wear masks and practice social distancing. Contributions may be made in Lou’s name to Bella Care Hospice, 1933 State Route 45, Austinburg, OH 44010. Online obituary and condolences may be viewed at www.behmfuneral.com

I want to thank everyone who has supported my family these past weeks and months. My dad was a great authentic humble human being and a man of integrity. He meant the world to so many and you could never leave a conversation with him without a laugh. Dad you will be missed in so many ways. Your family will never forget you. We will have that conversation again about the “golden years” that we always laughed about and you know I will ask you if you want that last cup of coffee. Love you man!!

Our condolences go out to Lou's wife Pat whom Lou loved so dearly as he loved all of his family and friends. He was a happy sole and I can't recall him saying anything bad about anybody. He bailed me out of many of my computer problems. Maybe he felt obliged since he was the one that got me started with a home computer when I was a neighbor of his on Whitewood. He will be missed by every one that he ever met because they became an instant friend. I am saddened to see you go my friend. Jim & Vivian Kroll

I have had a lot of fun memories with my buddy Lou, and his wife Pat, But I think my fondest memory was last year. (exactly 1 year ago today) It was at our church praise gathering, we sang a song, titled "A few good men", while we were singing the chorus of the song, myself and two others went out into the audience, I wheeled Lou up to the stage area and we proceeded to pick his chair up and put him up on stage with us, Lou was feeling so proud, and believe me, so was I. I love this man, and It has been an honor and a blessing to have spent time with him here on earth. so for now Lou its not good bye, because I'll see you later... May God put his hands on the family at this difficult time... A FEW GOOD MEN ... What this dying world could use is a willing Man of God Who dares to go against the grain and works without applause; A man who'll raise the shield of Faith, protecting what is pure; Whose love is tough and gentle; a man whose word is sure. God doesn't need an Orator who knows what just to say; He doesn't need authorities to reason Him away; He doesn't need an army to guarantee a win; He just needs a Few Good Men. Men full of Compassion, who Laugh and Love and Cry- Men who'll face Eternity and aren't afraid to die- Men who'll fight for Freedom and Honor once again- He just needs a Few Good Men. He calls the broken derelict whose life has been renewed; He calls the one who has the strength to stand up for the Truth. Enlistment lines are open and He wants you to come in- He just needs a Few Good Men. Men full of Compassion, who Laugh and Love and Cry- Men who'll face Eternity and aren't afraid to die- Men who'll fight for Freedom and Honor once again- He just needs a Few Good Men. Men full of Compassion, who Laugh and Love and Cry- Men who'll face Eternity and aren't afraid to die- Men who'll fight for Freedom and Honor once again- He just needs a Few Good Men.
