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 spent many years as a carpenter and property manager, showcasing his skills and dedication to his craft. In his free time, Paul enjoyed indulging in his hobbies. He was an avid gardener, finding joy in nurturing plants and creating beautiful outdoor spaces. He also had a passion for collecting coins and loved to spend time fishing. Metal detecting became another of his favorite pastimes, as he enjoyed the thrill of uncovering hidden treasures.

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. He is also remembered by his dear siblings, Anna Lisa Cox and JoAnn Meredith, who cherish the moments they spent together as a family. Services pending.

"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
