Kylie Jobe
Jobe, Kylie Brooke, 20. The world lost a beautiful young woman on Wednesday, March 23, 2011, when Kylie Brooke Jobe was taken from us in a tragic car accident that also claimed the lives of two others. She touched many lives in her brief twenty years. Even a list of her closest friends would spread across the states of Kansas and Oklahoma, including classmates from both states; teammates from tennis, soccer and basketball; sorority sisters and more. Kylie was a wonderful, fun and loving sister and a good friend to many, keeping in touch often, regardless of the time or distance that separated her from their daily lives. With sincere affection, her friends describe Kylie as intelligent, fearless, confident and thoughtful. Kylie loved sports. She grew up in Midwest City, Oklahoma, where she was active in soccer and basketball. She spent her high school years at Maize High School, graduating in 2009. There, she was active in tennis, soccer and basketball. When it was time to choose a college, Kylie embraced her mothers alma mater - Oklahoma State University - proudly wearing bright orange t-shirts and celebrating the traditions of the OSU Cowboys. She joined Gamma Phi Beta sorority and the OSU Spurs. One of Kylies closest friends from OSU posted this heartfelt message on Kylies Facebook wall after the accident: “Friends like you are hard to find. In a lifetime, you get only a few. And when you find them, you always know them by sight and heart alone. You always grow a little bit taller in your soul, and you also know that as the years come and as the years go by you have been blessed just to know them; thus blessed am I, thus lucky have I beento know a friend like you.” Survivors include parents, Barby and Mike Jobe, and brothers Kavan and Kaden Jobe, all of Wichita; maternal grandparents Dick and Joyce Brooke of Midwest City, OK; paternal grandparents Bill and Rita Jobe of Oklahoma City, OK; and aunt Michelle Dilda of Frisco, TX. A memorial service is scheduled at 2 p.m. Monday, March 28 at Central Community Church. The family has requested that memorial gifts be made to the in memory of Kylie Jobe, to the Oklahoma State University Foundation, P.O. Box 1749, Stillwater, OK 74076. Downing Lahey Mortuary West.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Mike, Barby, Kavan, Kaden, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. No words can express our sympathy for your loss. We just hope that you know that you have many hands holding you up and thinking of you at this time. Bill, JoAnne, Pallace, and Stanton Schnittker
This is the part of life that is difficult to accept, especially when it’s such a special person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dear Jobe Family, You have been in our prayers much since we heard of the loss of your beautiful daughter. May God grant you His peace that passes understanding and wrap you in His love.
Dear Barby, Mike, and boys: We ache for all of you and the loss of your beautiful young lady, Kylie. It isn’t natural for us as parents to lose our children, nor for brothers to lose their sister at such young ages. We are sincerely sad for all of you. Leah and I keep saying we knew Kylie was happy when she left this World. She will be missed and we will keep all of you in our prayers. We are blessed to have known Kylie.
Dear Barby,Mike and boys, Wow, I still can\’t wrap my mind around what has happened to Kylie and Kyle.I can still see Kylie coming into our house and sitting at our kitchen bar, when you all first moved here. She had such beautiful eyes and a pretty smile. I remember the two of them standing in front of the fireplace in the big group of kids before sweetheart and homecoming. Then there was last summer when the girls would come over to watch movies and swim. As Kelsey and I have talked over the last few days and nights, she said, \’As much as we would like, we don\’t get a rewind on this to change the outcome; so I am going take all the things I have learned from Kylie, including her goodness and \’fun-ness,\’ and incorporate into my soul. That way Kylie will live on within me and be a constant reminder to be a better person…I will miss our law career conversations. As I hopefully move forward with my career, I will always think of her… She will also be my reminder to keep things in perspective,(as she did)… And most of all, I will miss how she got my sense of humor and her laughter. She was a good and fun friend.\’ May your memories of this precious child help you through this very difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers, Norma and Steve Moore and family
