Alpha proudly served his country in the United States Army as part of the infantry platoon from 1957 to 1959. As a member of Southside Baptist Church, Alpha found solace and strength in his faith, which he shared openly with those around him.

Alpha is preceded in death by his loving wife of 62 years, Carolyn Davis Bissett Cobb; father, Benjamin Forrest Cobb; mother, Ella Mae Britt Cobb; son, Barry D. Cobb; and grandson, Blaine A. Williams. He is survived by his daughter, Brenda Cobb Eure and her husband, Bubba; grandchildren, Jennifer Martin and her husband, Dillon, and Justin Cobb and his wife, Emily; and great-granddaughter, Emery A. Williams. Additionally, he leaves behind his brother, James R. Cobb and his wife, Betty; along with numerous extended family members and cherished friends.
