To shine a light for those in darkness
Our why? That would be my son David Joseph Cobb! David battled mental illness for many years and sadly died by suicide on October 23, 2015 at the age of 17 when he could no longer fight the demons of mental illness. David was my beloved son, my best friend, my heart and soul, my whole life…he was my only child!
The David J Cobb Foundation was established in June 2016 to honor David and to raise awareness of mental illness and suicide prevention. The years prior to my son’s passing, I struggled to find programs or resources to help not only my son but me navigate the mental health system. We aim to bridge that gap and be a provider of resources to those who are struggling and their families who might know what to do. We direct them to community resources who can get them the help they need.
We will be the voice for those who suffer in silence, and I will continue to honor my son and keep his legacy alive by helping as many people as I can.
