Text:

Amie Lee (Cobabe) Cobb quietly passed with the morning sunrise at her home in Prescott Valley, Arizona on Sunday May 1, 2016, at the age of 42, due to complications from cancer treatments, which she had endured with grace and courage since her early childhood.

Her decision to cease treatment allowed friends and loved ones to say a final good-bye, which was a touching experience for all who were able to participate. Many family and friends will long cherish the experiences of the week preceding her passing.

Amie is survived by her husband of nearly 25 years, Gordon Burl Cobb; and her children, Ian Joseph 19 and Courtnie Jean Cobb 14. She is also survived by her loving parents, Fredrick William and Valerie Jean Cobabe; and her brothers, Bill, Andy, Josh and Alex; and sisters, Michelle Loosli and Lindsey Livingston, along with their spouses; and many nieces and nephews.

Amie was born July 2, 1973 in Torrance, California. She graduated from Mountain View High School in Orem, Utah in 1990 and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Music Education from Brigham Young University in 1995. At BYU, she toured many countries as a member of the Synthesis jazz band and the Wind Symphony. She began her teaching career as a music teacher in the Chandler Unified School District and later in Prescott Valley for the Humboldt Unified School District and held the position of Director of Instrumental Music where she led and taught Marching Band, Orchestra, Guitar, Jazz Band as well as school musicals. She received numerous awards in all areas of music, but always said that the true reward was being a part of the lives of countless young people and inspiring them to reach for excellence and honor.

Amie spent her time in service to her family, school, community and church. She was an avid reader and movie buff and enjoyed crafting, sewing and teaching private music lessons. She was a fierce friend and improved the lives of all who knew her, but her heart always belonged first to her children and she found the greatest joy in being a mother and supporting her children in their endeavors.
Central to Amie’s life was her great faith in her Savior, Jesus Christ. It was through her faith that she faced and conquered countless health challenges throughout her life. Her positive attitude while facing these challenges made her a hero to many and an example to all. Always humble and cheerful, she leaves a legacy of faith, hope, charity and love.

Amie’s life will be remembered and celebrated at a funeral service at 11 a.m. Saturday May 7, 2016, at the Prescott Valley Stake Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 7073 Pronghorn Ranch Parkway, Prescott Valley, Arizona. There will be a viewing before the funeral beginning at 9:30 a.m. and a graveside service at Arizona Pioneer Home Cemetery in Prescott immediately following the funeral.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Sunrise Funeral Home assisted the family.

Is this thing still on?

 Does anyone even blog anymore? I remember when it first got started and everyone was having a blog. I like writing, and I do a lot of it in my professional life, but not everything makes it onto this blog, which is where a lot of my personal thoughts come out. I put more into Facebook lately, too, because it's a little easier. But there's something to be said for this long-form writing exercise, and I think I will continue here periodically. You don't mind, do you? Well, in my last post I wrote about how difficult things were for me at the time. That changed in July when I finally got a job working for the State of Utah. I was the program manager for the moderate income housing database program, and that meant I worked from home a lot but also went in to Salt Lake when needed, mostly on the train. It was a good experience, for the most part, and I'm grateful for the things I learned even in the short time I was there.  In October I started working for Weber County in t...

The Other Art

I'm not sure we appreciate photography as much as we do other art forms. Part of this comes from the reality that surrounds and permeates a photograph - it's very, very real, and the photographer strives for clarity and crispness in the representations. Perhaps this is why black and white images continue to be relevant - they strip away extraneous information (color) and leave us with something that is at once familiar and also non-existent - for nothing exists in black and white. Nothing. I also think that pictures are becoming too common-place... Everyone has a camera in their pocket, and while that's a very democratic thing (everyone can express themselves in a picture easily and readily, and can find an audience for these images, which are casually taken and casually viewed, and perhaps just as casually forgotten) I think that we embrace that casual attitude, and it spills over to all aspects of the media, making it impotent. So I read this article this morning: h...

A Romantic Encounter

Him (tears in his eyes, heartbroken): I want you to know that I love you, that I'm sorry for my weakness and frailties, and that I will try and do better. I think I am doing better than I was before, and I just want to please you and make you happy. I am very grateful for your continued patience as I try to be the kind of man I want to be. Her: You need a haircut. It's getting a little long.
