James Gregory Cobb, Jr., 65, of Beaumont, died December 6, 2018, surrounded by his loving family, under the care of Harbor Hospice. A native and lifelong resident of Beaumont, he was born September 27, 1953, the youngest of the three children of the late Aleene Bernice and James Gregory Cobb, Sr. Greg attended Forest Park High School and Lamar University, where he was a proud member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity.
Greg happily made his life’s work as the owner and broker of Cobb Real Estate, Crystal Beach, for over thirty-five years. He was a lover of life and all it entailed, namely the beach, the Dallas Cowboys, his lucky number 27, trying new restaurants, Jimmy Buffett, Hawaiian shirts, taking vacations, and his family. He also loved celebrating his birthday, but quite often forgot about ours. He was obsessed with gadgets. He loved the latest and greatest of everything- which was only fueled by his love of Shark Tank. Paulette won’t be out of the woods from mysterious packages arriving on her doorstep for the next 7-10 business days.
Greg is survived by his wife of twenty-four years, Paulette; his sons, James Gregory Cobb, III, of Los Angeles, California, and Tyler James Coco, his wife, Worley, of Beaumont; his daughter, Audrye Cobb Hodges, her husband, Chris, of Winnie; his grandchildren, Wyatt James Coco and John Oscar Coco, of Beaumont, and Charlotte Bernice Hodges of Winnie; his sisters, Dianne Cobb Walker, her husband, Haywood, and Patty Cobb Maida, her husband, Pete, all of Beaumont; his parents-in-law, B.B. and Larry Devillier; his brothers-in-law, Buddy Devillier, his wife, Sheri, and Dean Devillier, his wife, Pam, all of Winnie; his uncle, Howard Cobb of Beaumont; his aunt, Joy Busbee, her husband, Guinn, of Vidor; his eight nieces and nephews; and his twelve great-nieces and nephews.
In addition to his mother and father, Greg was preceded in death by his daughter, Lauren Coco.
