Paul Cecil Goble

Paul Cecil Goble, age 71, a cherished member of his community and a devoted family man, passed away on Friday, October 4, 2024, at Frye Regional Medical Center in Hickory, NC. He was born on Friday, March 27, 1953, in Catawba County, where he spent his formative years and developed a deep love for his family, the great outdoors, and was of the Christian faith.

Paul dedicated 47 years of his life working as a trimmer for Leathercraft, Inc., and various other furniture companies throughout his upholstery career. His skilled craftsmanship and work ethic earned him the respect of his colleagues and clients alike. Beyond work, he was an avid gardener and yardman, taking immense joy in nurturing his garden and sharing the fruits of his labor with family and friends. An enthusiastic softball player, Paul relished athletic pursuits and loved doing jigsaw puzzles, and camping, creating cherished memories under the stars.

He was known for his kind nature and thoughtful demeanor, earning the affection and admiration of those fortunate enough to know him. His family remembers him fondly as a good man with a precious smile—a "salt of the earth" individual who was a great friend to all.

Paul is survived by his beloved wife of 33 and a half years, Brenda Carol Moretz Goble; children Christy Goble Jackson (Cecil) of Wellington, FL, Heath Goble and fiancée Jody Walker of Newton, NC, and Keith Goble (Janie) of Hickory, NC.
