Jerry Bryan Cobb Kilpatrick Funeral Home Ruston, LA 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 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.

We will miss his sharp sense of humor, his optimism, his kindness and sincere interest and love for his family and his many friends. Jerry's family extends their gratitude to the doctors and staff of the Frontier Cancer Center and Blood Institute of Billings, Montana, the LSU Health Sciences Center Shreveport, and Professional Hospice Care of Ruston for their excellent treatment and care of Jerry.

Coach and Mrs. Cobb, my words fail me when I need them the most. My memories of Jerry go back to when I coached him in little league, great kid with a competitive spirit. The last time was at Ruston Junior High School and his new roll of teaching those that needed him the most. Jerry was a gift, his loss cannot be measured, but the sweet spirit, and memories he leaves will be forever. God Bless
