What a coach, colleague, and friend. I had the privilege of being coached by Coach Hobes and working with him as a fellow coach. Learned so much from him and could tell so many stories about our time together. He truly loved teaching and coaching and treated everyone the same. He was Greene County Tigers football. Mattie, Dury and DeQuincy, please know the impact your husband and dad had on the lives of all of us young guys through the years. May God continue to strengthen you in the days ahead and please know Lee and I are praying for you all.

Our condolences to the Hobes family; we are thinking of you.

Oh the many hours that Coach Hobes provided encouragement, direction and guidance to athletes who were competing in sports for Greene County High and Greene-Taliaferro County High School over the years - challenging them to play their very best - but much moreso, helping them develop work ethics and "do the best you can" approaches that have added positive values to the lives of so many young people he interacted with - may the Lord bless his family and be with them in this time of loss - David & Janice Kopp

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
