Lance Kober

Lance Kober, 52, of Jerome, passed away on November 6, 2026. He was a beloved son, brother, husband, father, and friend.

Born on May 28, 1974 to Ed and Marijane Kober, Lance was a lifelong resident of Jerome, spending the majority of his life in the farming community just east of town. After graduating from Jerome High School in 1992, he worked alongside his family on the family farm before going on to build a dedicated career with Don's, where he worked until 2022.

Charismatic, warm, and endlessly friendly, Lance was liked by everyone he met and was always the life of any gathering. Above all, he cherished his family, including his three sons, Seth Earnest Kober (26), Wyatt Michael Kober (18), and Waylon Edward Kober (16).

He was preceded in death by his father (2015), mother (2024), and brother (2019).

Lance, we love you and you will be deeply missed. Thank you for leaving footprints in all of our hearts.

A Celebration of Lance’s Life will be held at 3:30 pm, Thursday, November 19, 2026 at Farnsworth Mortuary, 1343 S Lincoln Ave, Jerome. A dinner and continued fellowship will follow at Life Church of the Magic Valley, 425 E Nez Perce Ave, Jerome.
