Jeffrey Scott Cox

Jeffrey Cox, a devoted family man and a true embodiment of a life well-lived, passed away peacefully on February 24, 2025, at the age of 58, in his hometown of Huntsville, Alabama. Born on March 28, 1966, also in Huntsville, Jeffrey grew into a man known for his handy touch, loving nature, and adventurous spirit.
A proud alumnus of Auburn University, Jeffrey carried the spirit of the institution within him long after his studies concluded, remaining a passionate and enthusiastic fan. His academic journey there not only equipped him with knowledge but also fostered a sense of community and camaraderie that he cherished throughout his life.
Jeffrey's professional life was marked by his exceptional skill in flipping houses. His handyman capabilities were not just a career but a calling, as he transformed numerous properties into warm, welcoming homes. His work was more than a means to an end; it was a canvas for his creativity and his contribution to the community he held so dear.
Above all, Jeffrey's heart belonged to his family. He is survived by his loving wife, Victoria Cox, and their children: Cody and his wife Ali, Hannah and her husband Austin, Brandon, Christian and his wife Tiffany, Carson and his wife Ayanna, and Brian and his wife Laura. His mother, Elvira Cox, also survives him, as well as his sisters, Cathy and Chris, along with his precious grandchildren, Athena, Harper, Luka, and Aspen, who brought immense joy and laughter into his life. Jeffrey's role as a grandfather was one he embraced with every ounce of his being, spoiling his grandchildren with love, time, and attention at every opportunity. Jeffrey joins his father, who passed before him, Kenneth Cox, as well as his brother, Steven Cox.
Those who knew Jeffrey understood his love for the great outdoors. He especially loved hiking, taking every chance to explore the natural beauty that surrounded him. These adventures brought him peace and grounded him, providing precious moments of reflection and exhilaration.
Jeffrey's life was one of balance, blending his love for his family with his passions and his work. He was the kind of person who could fix just about anything, a handyman in the truest sense of the word. His loving nature extended beyond his immediate family, touching the lives of friends and community members alike. The adventures he embarked upon added a sense of excitement and wonder to his life's story, a tale he loved to share with his grandchildren.
As we bid farewell to Jeffrey, we remember a man who lived life with his heart on his sleeve and a hammer in his hand. His legacy is built from the foundations of the homes he refurbished, the laughter of his grandchildren, and the countless lives he touched with his warmth and generosity. Jeffrey's life will be celebrated in the town that raised him on Friday, February 28, 2025 at 2:00pm. His memory will live on in the stories told, the homes he revitalized, and the undying love for his family that defined him. In every cheer at an Auburn game, every trail blazed through the Alabama woods, and every family gathering filled with love and laughter, Jeffrey's spirit will be there, smiling and content.
As the sun sets on a life marked by love, adventure, and a profound sense of home, we remember Jeffrey Cox not just for the life he led but for the lives he touched. He will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever cherished by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
