Main Details

This was created in memory of my cousin, Matt Cobler who had recently passed Monday, January 19, 2009 from leukemia that generated fromthe bone marrow in his leg. To be honest, that's the little I know what he passed away from, because the rest is too complicated for me to understand & explain.

He was born April 21, 1976 to parents, Curt & Patricia Cobler.

Matt Cobler leaves behind a wife; Amy Cobler, one daughter; Eva Cobler,

parents; Curt & Patricia Cobler, sister; Shelly Cobler.

Along with his immediate family, he also leaves behind Maternal Family, Grandmother, Lela Farmer, my parents Larry & Linda Farmer whom are Aunt & Uncle with cousins Joy Farmer (myself) & Clayton Farmer, Late Uncle; Keith Farmer & Aunt; Judy Farmer with cousins; Carol Farmer, Jenny Farmer, & Kenny Farmer, & an Aunt, Sandra Lee Farmer.

10 yrs. ago, he had cancer in his leg, which had been removed & couple weeks ago, returned. This time when it returned, he needed a bone marrow transplant & on top had pneumonia. Since he pulled thru the last time, we figured he would get thru the storm this time, but for some reason, all didn't work in our favor. My Mother had been visiting me in Louisville from Cincinnati for the whole weekend & from what we knew, not much was going on. No news meant good news, but Mom returned home to Cincinnati & found out the unfortunate news.

This unexpected situation has been extremely difficult for myself & many other members of my family to cope with. He was a good & fun person to have around whom we never thought to be gone from us so soon. Within the last year, I had to go thru 5 deaths, which included Uncle Keith, Dad's cousin, Dwayne, & 3 close friends (one whom was like a sister that I had known for 16 yrs). Dealing with the loss of a loved one is the worst situation for me to face, because of my love for the individual & the cahnge I have to adjust to from being without that person.

I'm the type who takes these situations harder than most other members of the family, but this one has hit everybody pretty hard. It was hard for me to focus on my usual routine. All I felt like doing is calling other family to share my grief & going to bed early. I didn't think I'd make it up to view Obama's Inauguration, but God seen to it that I did. It cheered me up for then, but when I got home, the thoughts returned.

As not only a way of pouring out my grief, but I've created this piece not only for myself, but Matt's family, my brother, & other cousins to share memories of Matt Cobler.
