Bel Air, Maryland — The world became a little dimmer on Thursday, April 10, 2025, with the sudden and heartbreaking passing of Joshua Cobo, a bright young man whose life and legacy touched so many. At just 27 years old, Joshua passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a deep void in the lives of his family, friends, and colleagues.
A proud graduate of Coastal Carolina University, Joshua was known for his intellect, determination, and genuine compassion for others. He earned his degree with distinction, studying business and finance, and later went on to excel in his career as a talented analyst at NextEra Energy Resources. His professionalism, creativity, and analytical brilliance made him an invaluable part of his team.
But Joshua was so much more than his accomplishments. To know him was to know kindness, humility, and quiet strength. Friends describe him as someone with a calm presence and an infectious sense of humor — the kind of person who could light up a room with just a smile or a well-timed joke. He had a heart for people, always checking in on those he cared about, and making time for meaningful conversations, even in his busiest moments.
Raised in Bel Air, Maryland, Joshua was deeply rooted in his community and maintained close ties with childhood friends and mentors who watched him grow into a remarkable man. He was also a devoted brother, a loving son, and a loyal friend. Family meant everything to him, and he never missed an opportunity to show his gratitude and love to those closest to him.
In the wake of this unimaginable loss, Joshua’s family has expressed their appreciation for the overwhelming support and love they’ve received. “Joshua was our light — thoughtful, generous, and always striving to make the world a better place,” his family shared. “We are devastated, but we are comforted knowing how deeply he was loved by so many.”
A memorial service to honor Joshua’s life will be held in the coming days in Bel Air, with details to be announced. The Cobo family welcomes friends, former classmates, colleagues, and all those touched by Joshua’s spirit to come together in remembrance and celebration of his life.
Though his time on earth was far too short, Joshua Cobo’s legacy will live on through the kindness he showed, the lives he uplifted, and the love he gave so freely.
