Fairview, N.C. — It is with profound sorrow that the community of Fairview mourns the tragic passing of Paul and Kimberly Giacobbe, a devoted husband and wife whose lives were unexpectedly cut short this week. The couple was found deceased in their home on Noble Road Thursday evening, October 16, 2025, leaving family, friends, and neighbors in shock and heartbreak.
Authorities responded to the residence after concerned relatives were unable to reach the pair. Upon arrival, deputies discovered the couple inside their home. The Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office has launched a full investigation, though officials have not yet released details regarding the cause of death.
News of the Giacobbes’ passing has rippled through Fairview, a small, close-knit mountain town where the couple was known for their warmth, generosity, and deep love for one another. Friends describe them as inseparable — partners in every sense of the word — who shared a passion for community service, the outdoors, and spending time with loved ones.
“Paul and Kim were the kind of people who made everyone feel welcome,” said neighbor Rebecca Allen. “They had this light about them — always smiling, always ready to lend a hand. It’s hard to imagine Fairview without them.”
As word spreads, residents have begun leaving flowers, candles, and heartfelt notes along Noble Road, a quiet tribute to a couple who touched so many lives. Local churches are organizing grief counseling sessions and planning a community vigil to honor their memory.
The Fairview community now faces the difficult days ahead, united in mourning but strengthened by the love and legacy Paul and Kimberly leave behind
