DONALD F. KOBIE, age 73, beloved husband of Barbara (nee Judy); loving father of Timothy (Sarah), Zachary (Erin); proud grandfather of Maverick, Peregrin, Ellie, Augustin, and Callahan; brother of Joseph Kobie (deceased) (Maryanne); uncle, cousin, and friend of many. Don was dependable, always working hard with a deep voice and a big laugh. He loved routine and hated clutter. Don raised two wonderful men and then welcomed two daughters- in-law like they had always been his daughters. He enjoyed life's simple pleasures like a burger from Jim's Meats at the West Side Market or watching his grandkids play sports. He encouraged and loved them all in everything they did and effectively used bribery to improve their soccer skills. He stayed up late for any sports team games. He loved going to the Guards games in the summer and stayed loyal to the Browns even through years of disappointment, like a true Clevelander. He got more excited for Christmas than his grandkids as he dragged out and setup his train display to their delight each year. Don was a dedicated man of faith who gave years of service to his St. Adalbert Community. He served voluntarily as an Athletic Director, coach and eventually began organizing and directing the parish's beloved fish fry. Passed away May 22, 2025. Funeral Mass Wednesday May 28, 2025 at St. Adalbert Church (Berea) at 11:30 AM. Interment St. Adalbert Cemetery. Friends may call at CHAMBERS FUNERAL HOME of BEREA, 86 ADALBERT ST. OFF FRONT ST. (LOCATED IN THE POLISH VILLAGE HISTORIC DISTRICT), TUESDAY 3-6 PM.
