Paul T. Cox, a cherished father, grandfather, brother and friend, passed on November 24, 2025, at the age of 57. Born on June 6, 1968, Paul lived a life filled with hard work, creativity, and love for his family.

Paul is survived by his beloved children, Timothy Cox and Laceyann Cox, who will carry forth his memory. He was a proud grandfather to Ryan Robinson, Chelsea Robinson, Lucas Robinson, Bella Lemott, Allanah Lemott, and Jasper Cox.

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." -Psalm 23
