Terry Cox's Obituary

He was preceded in death by his parents, Hubert and Geneva Cox.
Terry was a proud Christian, his faith was an important foundation in his life. He served his country honorably in the United States Navy and spent his career in sales, where he built lasting relationships and earned the respect of those he worked with.
He found great joy in the everyday moments: spending time with his family, enjoying his routine of watching Gunsmoke, and riding his Harley-Davidson. He especially took pleasure in watching his granddaughter Bella in her many activities, including volleyball and drums. He also loved pranks, telling stories, and jokes, bringing laughter and warmth to those around him. These were the moments that truly defined him and gave him great joy.
