Liam James Cobb: 2005 – 2025

Liam James Cobb was born Saturday, May 28, 2005 in Casper, Wyoming, the son James Cornelius “Jim” Cobb and Cristina Virginia “Cristy” Dicklich-Cobb.

Liam, age 19, died Wednesday, April 9, 2025 near Medicine Bow, Wyoming.

Liam was curious, inquisitive, and could not get enough knowledge in topics of his interest. He loved animals and is dearly missed by his three-legged cat, Tewksbury. Physical fitness, nutrition, and goal setting were his passions.

Growing up, he spent countless hours on the ice as a hockey goalie and cycling, where he won many championships and awards. His engineering and mathematical mind was both beautiful and complex, often causing him to struggle with the humanness of life. As he grew, asking questions of others trying to gain greater understanding on topics ranging from financial investing, how to talk to people, how to be a leader, and how to study became a way to connect and learn the intricacies of relationships. Liam loved his work with the windmill company and was on the track for leadership.

“See you around,” was one of his constant comments used to end a conversation.

Liam is survived by many family members — parents, Jim Cobb and Cristy Dicklich-Cobb of Douglas, Wyoming; siblings: Adam (Jamie) Cobb of Eaton, Colorado, Blake (Kristi) Cobb, Claire (Blake) Morey, Max Cobb, and Sam Cobb all of Douglas; maternal grandparents, Eli and Barb Dicklich of Casper, Wyoming; paternal grandparents, Dr. Don Cobb of Casper, Wyoming and Connie Williams of Douglas, Wyoming; aunts and uncles, Anna Cobb, Scott (Dana) Cobb of Douglas, Tom (Jackie) Cobb of Tomball, Texas, and Jason Yocum of Casper; cousins: Darcy Cobb (Jeff Burgher) of Casper, Derek (Rachel) Vogelsong of Douglas, and Beth Loveless (Josh Ferguson) of Laramie, Wyoming.

Liam was been preceded in death by grandparents and uncles.
