Those who knew Jim say that his love and appreciation for music began at a very early age. By the time he was in high school, Jim was known for being heavily involved in the local music scene, continuing to play with bands into his late teens and 20s.
He worked in New York City as a producer and composer. In 2013, he moved to Hawaii and pursued a career as a guitarist, composer, musical director and producer.
He was survived by his parents, Phyllis and Michael Cobb of Croton on Hudson, New York; his sister, Amy Cobb and partner Shannon FitzPatrick of Providence, Rhode Island, his beloved daughter, Fiona Kea Cobb, and his wife, Jane Foody of Aiea, Hawaii.
Jim died on Thursday, July 11 in Aiea, Hawaii.
