Officer Steve Cox

Prayers.

I did not have the honor of knowing Steve personally. But, I remembered, how tall he stood to accept his award given to him my the Seattle Neighbor Group. I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to you and the family on Steve death. Few people have achieved the position of respect and high esteem which he edjoyed in his community. His absence will be felt by many for years to come. With deepest sympathy.

I cannot thank Steve enough for the care and concern he had for our neighborhood. I was lucky enough to meet Steve this summer as he helped our little community feel safe about an alternative high school program being moved into an old grade school a block away. By chance, he also helped my neighbor and I retrieve a stolen bike and caught the kid who did it. I'm sure he had one of the persuasive talks with him on the way home. He was our hero. My prayers are with his family. God Bless.

I grew up with Steve on 30th Avenue SW in Shorewood. We had a wonderful neighborhood - typical of the 1960s - full of kids...Steve, Ronnie, Kevin, Brent, Bobby, Craig, Joanie, et al. Steve was one of my best friends, and I have a million memories of times with him and his family. All the families in our neighborhood knew each other very well and looked out for each other. I even have wonderful (and funny) memories of Steve's childhood dog "Pokey" !! I moved out of the neighborhood to St....

While I only met Steve a few times, being the kid of a retired Seattle Police officer, I truly respect what he did for the community. Steve's younger brother Ron was a classmate of mine, and from all accounts both were cut from the same fine mold.

From my family to the Cox family, all our prayers.

Steve touched a life of a family member whom he arrested once 7 years ago. Steve always checked on him, and I hope that he knew he was the reason that our family member changed his life. He was the reason. We are proud to say after that one meeting with Steve our family member has become a hard working father, who has not even gotten a ticket. It took one mistake and Steve's influence to forever change our families lives. Thank you Steve, We wish you wouldnt have had to pay the price you did...

I never met Steve. My family and friends either encountered him on duty or knew his brother Ron. Steves death weighs deeply on my heart and soul. He will now be an angel watching over us. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to every person that knew our local Hero.

when i think of officer cox,the saying "it's not how they died that makes them a hero,it's how they LIVED".god bless your family.

Even though I haven't seen Steve in many years I have been thinking a lot about him. Along with the rest of the boys on 30th avenue southwest we all played our hearts out together, be it football, baseball or hide-and-go seek. I am so impressed and proud of what a courageous adult he was and will for the rest of my life hold him and his ideals in my memory: he was Shorewood's finest. My sincere condolences and prayers go out to you all; Maria, Bronson, Ron, Ron and Joanne.
