William Einstein "Stein" Cobb

William Einstein Cobb, lovingly known as "Stein," peacefully transitioned from this life into eternal rest on June 30, 2025, at the age of 73. He was born on December 11, 1951 in Hillsboro Texas. Stein graduated from Peabody High School in 1971, and in 1978 planted roots in San Angelo, Texas. On May 3, 1980, he married Dorethea Mayberry, and from their union, a daughter, Olivia, was born. He served in several professional roles, including the Texas Workforce Commission, the GAFB Community Club, and the San Angelo State School, retiring in 1991 after years of faithful service. He had a brilliant mind, and a passion for technology and scripture. He was known for his deep knowledge of the Bible, often spending time reading, meditating on, and reflecting on its meaning. Stein had a special connection to prayer - his words were never ordinary. He had a gift for speaking to God with a depth and uniqueness that always felt powerful and personal. He was an ordained minister and spent decades studying and teaching the Word of God. He was a proud member of Miracle Temple Church of God in Christ, where he served and worshipped for many years. Though he wore many titles - brother, uncle, father - it was "Papa" that lit up his world. He cherished his grandchildren and found boundless joy in his great-grandchildren. He is survived by his daughter, Olivia Cobb; grandchildren, DeMarcus Cobb (Arianna), Xavier DeWitt, and Anayishah Rizo (Cruz); and great-grandchildren, Amir Cobb, Anais Cobb, and Abigail Rizo. He also leaves behind his beloved sister, Verna Allen (Johnny); his former spouse and cherished friend, Dorethea Mayberry; and a host of nieces, nephews, and loved ones. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ella Kate Henley and George Washington Cobb Sr.; his sisters, Helen Beaver and Lily Jackson; and his brother, George Cobb Jr. A memorial celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, July 5th, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Harper Funeral Home, 2606 Southland Blvd, San Angelo, TX 76904
