Mr. Tommy Lee Gobble, 61, of Riverview Road, Advance, passed away Saturday, Jan. 4, 2025 at his home after battling a brief illness.
He was born on Feb. 27, 1963 in Davidson County to John Thomas Gobble and the late Margaret Ann Mayhew Gobble.
Whether working on them or going to tractor pulls, Tommy had a true passion for tractors. Because of his love for tractors, Tommy made many lifelong friends and connections. He loved the outdoors, hunting, and fishing. After eight years together, Tommy and Tina were married at the beach and they considered that their “happy place”. They frequented the beach, where he spent the days surf fishing with family and catching up with friends they made through the years. Tommy enjoyed eating good food and was always quick to make a friend anywhere he went. He was loved by many and will be missed by those who knew him.
In addition to his father, survivors include: his wife of 15 years, Tina W. Gobble of the home; his children, Timmy Gobble (Amy) of Lexington, Jon Gobble (Angela) of Thomasville, and Chris Gobble (Tina) of Denton; step-children, Sam Everidge (Katie) of Kentucky and Emily Bochette (James) of Asheboro; 13 grandchildren who he always referred to as his “babies”, Melanie, Jon, Levi, Cody, Conner, Garrett, Cari, Addison, Zoey, Drake, Zayden, Logan, and Zynlee; 1 great-grandchild on the way, Jackson; and a brother, Donald Gobble (Sheila) of Mocksville.
A celebration of Tommy’s life will be conducted at 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11 at Eaton Funeral Chapel with Rev. Wayne Swisher officiating. The family will receive friends from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. prior to the service at the funeral home.
