Christopher Lee Cobler, “COB” to many, went to be with his Lord the morning of March 12, 2022, after a year-long battle with Metastatic Esophageal Cancer. Cob was born in Sacramento, CA February 9, 1974 and moved to Pilot Point, Texas with his mom and sister in January 1981. He was a “mighty Bearcat” and graduated from Selz High School in 1992. He stayed in Pilot Point for a while after graduating, working both at Lone Star Gas and then at Buchanan’s Restaurant where his lifelong career in food service began. He moved to Austin and fell in love with the eclectic lifestyle there; where he began a legacy of restaurant/bar/venue management that has touched many over the years. He never met a stranger and loved the life he created for himself and his family. He enjoyed fishing, camping, and spending time with friends and family at the river. His zest and joy for life was contagious and he enjoyed most sports and was an avid 49er & Longhorn fan! He is survived by his wife, Dawn; daughters, Isabel Cobler, Rylie and Zoe Flores all of Austin; mother, Micky Nortman of Pilot Point; sister, Candis and husband David Eldridge and their daughters, Taylor Campbell, Hannah & Heather Sneed all of Roswell, New Mexico; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by his stepfather, Dennis Nortman, Sr. and all his grandparents. An Austin Celebration of Life will be held at 10:30AM, Thursday, March 24, 2022 at Pecan Springs Ranch, 10601 B Derecho Drive, Austin, TX 78737. The Pilot Point Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00AM, Saturday, March 26, 2022 at St. Thomas Aquinas Parish Center, 925 N. Charcut Street, Pilot Point, TX 76258.
