Gene Calvin Cox

Cox family, Gene and I were roommates at South Georgia College and played in the backfield for the So. GA Tigers. Both of us enjoyed coaching careers later. I was privileged to see him at a Coaching Clinic in Atlanta, GA many years ago and one other time for a few hours at one of our South GA College reunions a couple of years back. Two short visits after experiencing a closer relationship playing for the Tigers. How sad that we lose touch so often. How sad I was to learn of his death...

Dear Pasty and Family,

Sorry to hear about Coach Cox.Coach was a big part of my life playing at Leon. He instilled character and discipline in young boys and made them men. I'm very thankful and blessed to have played for Coach and his great staff during my playing days.
May God bless you and your Family.

Our deepest sympathies to the Cox family. I'll always appreciate the pride Coach Cox and his dedicated team instilled in the hearts of the Leon High students. I graduated in 1975 and it truly was a championship year we'll always remember. Rest assured, that for many years to come, visitors, students and faculty alike will be reminded of the impact he made while associated with Leon High. Sincerely, Jane (Boyd) and John Ohlin

Dear Alan and Cox Family,

I join you in celebrating the life of who was a great man, great coach, and great servant of God. May you all be blessed with the peace and comfort of knowing how many lives were blessed because of him.

What a legacy Coach Cox leaves behind in the lives of so many. It was truly an honor to grow up and attend Leon during the time he was there.
