Shawn Maurice Cobbs, commonly referred to as "Curb," was born on March 28, 1978, in Charleston, South Carolina. He was the son of the late James and Rosetta Riley Cobbs. On April 25, 2025, Shawn passed away peacefully at his residence, surrounded by family. He entered eternal rest and is remembered for his legacy and the impact he had on those around him.
Shawn exemplified a strong work ethic throughout his career. He dedicated over 20 years of service to USCOA until the company's closure. Following this, he continued his commitment to hard work by joining the BID Group, where he worked for more than five years, contributing to the organization.
Shawn derived immense joy from spending quality time with his family outside of his professional commitments. Engaging in activities such as fishing, sharing meals, or simply enjoying each other's company, he endeavored to make every moment meaningful. All who knew him will fondly remember his profound love for his family and his appreciation for laughter and enjoying life.

Additionally, he is survived by his uncles, Joseph (Josephine) Riley, Samuel Riley, Kelvin Riley, Malicah (Cynthia) Cobbs, and Daniel Haynes; one great aunt, Philippine Segar.
He is survived by two sisters-in-law, Elizabeth and Amy Mosley, as well as several nieces, including Tysheema Murray, Teona Martino, Shadiamond, Micklia, and Ny'Rhianna Cobbs, Amyeishia Fuller, Juahkisha Robinson, Bre'Seven Young, Jakya Mosley, and Yjierian Mosley. He also leaves behind several nephews: Jacob Martino, Deshaun Cobbs, Keyonta Britt, Nathaniel Robinson, and Rikko Fuller. Shawn was cherished by many relatives, colleagues, close friends, and his work mother, Eddie Sue Hankins.
