Santies Cobb

Santies Cobb was born September 29, 1959 to James Cobb and Elizabeth Davis-Cobb. He was united in marriage to Patricia Adkinson on April 19, 1997.

Santies confessed his love for Christ at an early age. He was a member of Pilgrim Church while growing up and joined the Church of the Living God while in his 30’s he recently returned to Pilgrim Church where he felt at home listening to the sermons of Pastor Rickey Parks. 

Santies worked at various factories in the Champaign-Urbana area throughout his life until he could no longer work due to health issues. He was a self-proclaimed handy man, auto mechanic and anything else that his friends and family needed him to be. He had so many talents but never realized his full potential but always had a strong love for God and truly loved his family and friends!

Santies enjoyed watching sports, socializing with his friends and listening to all kinds of music. He loved playing basketball and baseball while in High School and always talked about those days with fond memories.  He had mentioned that he could not wait until this COVID -19 Shelter in place order was over so he could go back to church, but God knew best and brought him home!

He leaves to cherish his wife Patricia Adkinson-Cobb of Urbana, daughters Jasma Cobb of Urbana & Brandi Heaven of Texas, sons Santies Monaco Cobb of Urbana, Sanchez & Santies Cobb of Champaign, Cornelius Cobb of Mississippi, sister Patricia Cobb-Pettis of Michigan, 9 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild and a host of other family members and friends.

Due to COVID-19. There will be a Private Viewing for family only and a Memorial Service when allowed for all of his family and friends. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can’t heal, rest in Peace our beloved Santies!
