December 14, 1959 - September 21, 2024
Early in the morning on Saturday, September 21st a band of angels came and took Michael Lobb to his Heavenly Home. Michael fought the Good Fight against Cancer for more than a year. His wife Kathy and family were with him along with his beloved dogs Nala and Mimi to say goodbye.
Michael was a family man and a true "Dog Dad" His mother, Ona Glee Miller and Father Joseph Garr Lobb welcomed his birth on December 14th, 1959. The last of their three boys.
The untimely death of his mother Ona led to a second marriage to Ida Mae Lobb who had the honor to be his mom from age seven until his passing.
Michael graduated from Lodi High after which he became an electrician in the construction business, where he made many friends and fellow "Trekies" Yes, he loved Star Trek and enjoyed "treks" to "Star Trek" conventions with his wife of 27 years Kathy.
Michael's sense of humor was a mainstay of his cancer battle, always upbeat. In the late stages of cancer he was able to have cataract surgery on his left eye which enabled him to enjoy his frequently watched old TV Westerns like "Gunsmoke" and "The Rifleman".
When bidding him goodbye after a visit, he would point to his "good eye" laughingly reminding you "I've got my eye on you!"
At one time as an early teen, Michael had a horse named "Saturday Nite" who he lovingly cared for and rode through vineyards and trails along with his sister Kristi on her horse "Fancy Pants".
To say Michael will be missed is an understatement, there was something about him that just made you love him, giving love right back to you. All who shared his life. Those who remain will bask in the afterglow of great memories. Forever loved, Never forgotten."Star Trek", Live Long and Prosper.
Michael is preceded in death by his mother Ona Lobb, father Joseph Lobb, son Nick Lobb, and sister Kristi Lobb.
Remaining in sadness to mourn, wife Kathy Jo Lobb, mom Ida Mae Lobb, sons; Craig Becker, Joseph Lobb, Steven Adler, daughter Nicole Becker, brothers; Tim Lobb (Sue), Jeff Lobb, sister Kathleen Clark (Tim), and grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
