Kobe David Borror

Kobe David Borror, age 17, passed away at Children’s Hospital in Oklahoma City, OK on Friday, November 30^th, 2018, surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with leukemia.

Born on October 23^rd, 2001, Kobe instantly became the light of his father’s life. A kind-hearted boy who lit up the room with his infectious smile, and willingness to help others, Kobe easily connected with others and made friends wherever he went. His interests spanned from video games, to creating music, to playing sports. When it came to academics, Kobe was driven, including taking English honors classes and taking college courses during his high school tenure. Aspiring to one day join the Army, he dedicated time to the Reserve Officer Training Corps program. He also had dreams of becoming a video game programmer. Gone too soon but never forgotten, Kobe’s bright spirit and genuine love and kindness for others left an impact that will stay with us forever.
