F. J. Jobson died at 21 Highbury Place, Holloway Road, London, on 4 January 1881. His funeral sermon was preached at City Road Chapel, London, on 9 February, and he was buried in Highgate Cemetery on 8 January. One biographer described him as a large hearted and catholic-spirited man, and is the acknowledged friend of prominent men in the Established Church and of non-conformist ministers. A number of his sermons were published in Life of F. J. Jobson by Rev Benjamin Gregory (London: 1884). Further background about his life was published in Recollections of Seventy Years (1888) by the African-American Methodist minister Daniel Alexander Payne D.D. LL.D; and by his brother-in-law, the Chartist radical and writer Thomas Cooper in his autobiography (dedicated to Frederick Jobson), published in 1857.
