Billy Gloy Jobe

Billy Gloy Jobe, 75, of Lindale, Texas, passed away on March 25, 2025, just three days before his 76th birthday. Born on March 28, 1949, at Greene Valley Ranch in Emory, Texas, to Clarence Gloy Jobe and Irene Potter Jobe .

Billy grew up in Emory and graduated from Rains High School. He spent 30 years working for the Texas Department of Transportation in Mineola, where he made lasting contributions to the community with his strong work ethic and dedication. He was a loyal and dependable employee who always took pride in his work.

Throughout his life, Billy was deeply committed to his faith. He was an active member of New Hope Baptist Church and later Forest Hill Baptist Church, where he found great comfort and strength. Billy had a passion for the outdoors, particularly fishing on Greene's Lake and horseback riding with loved ones around "the circle" on the Green Valley Ranch, where he spent many cherished moments.

Billy was married twice. His first marriage was to Carolyn Kay, and his second to Joyce Ruby. He was a loving father to his son, Jason Jobe, and a proud grandfather to his granddaughter, Holly. He was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Irene; his first wife, Carolyn Kay; his second wife, Joyce Ruby; and his sister, Eva Nell Scheurerman, brother Ardell Jobe.

Billy is survived by his son, Jason; granddaughter, Holly; and his sisters, Opal Chappell and twin sister Brenda Joy Hogue and her husband Windell, and many loved nieces and nephews.

May he rest in peace.

A Gentleman & A Lady Together They are 80

No, we weren't born identical twins like most.

We were born paternal, but very close.

We didn't even look anything alike. You with dark hair and me with light.

Being twins we learned at an early age how to share things and play, as we went about each day.

As I recall, we didn't have a lot of toys to play with back then.

God gave us each other to have and know as a friend.

When I think back upon our childhood days, so many memories run through my mind.

Like playing cowboys and Indians with you so you would play dolls with me sometimes.

Remember when we'd climb over those wires on the barn just to take a chance?

And playing chase and hide-and-go-seek on our horses down on the ranch?

I also remember battling it out with our 4-H steers, and sharing the whooping cough,

measles, chicken pox and sometimes tears. Even now that we've gone our separate ways,

I sometimes wish that we could go back just one more time to those good old days.

But that's all behind us now. You know as well as I, We have to tell those days goodbye.

But before we put those memories to rest, I'd just kinda like you to know,

of all the brothers in the world I think you are among the very best.

And no matter how old or far apart, I'll always have a special feeling just for you, twin brother, in the corner of my heart.
