Steve Cox. Obituary
Steven L. Cox, 62, passed away on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at home surrounded by his loved ones.
He was born on September 4, 1962, in South Bend, Indiana to Olen and Shirley (Lacher) Cox.
Steve graduated from LaVille High School with the class of 1981. Steve met Denise Dipert driving through the park in his Mustang as she was finishing playing basketball. They started talking about his dog, he followed her home and the rest was history. They were married on September 13, 1986, at Plymouth Church of Brethren.
He was known for his strong work ethic; he worked for Burger Chef and Tri-Way Drive-In Theater. Being the provider for his family, like Steve was he gave Universal Bearings 43 years, retiring in 2024.
Fun-loving and adventurous are just a couple of words that adequately describe who he was. Steve was a people person, drawing everyone that he encountered into him. Steve was a grill master, entertaining family and friends for a lifetime on his deck, where countless friends and family would gather around the fire pit. He enjoyed brewing his own beer, not necessarily for drinking, but more for the camaraderie of bringing everyone together. His friends would infectiously call this Spider Web Brewery.
Steve loved his family; he never missed any event that his children or grandchildren were involved in.
Steve was an active member of the Plymouth Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge #741.
He is survived by his mother Shirley of Plymouth; wife Denise of Plymouth; daughter Samantha (Zach) Taylor and their children: Bentley and Payton of Plymouth; son Dylan Cox of Plymouth; brother Jim (Barb) Cox; of Plymouth; brother-in-law Brent (Linda) Dipert of Michigan; and his dogs Mia and Harley.
Steve is preceded in death by his father Olen and brother Kim
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 1:00 pm at the Plymouth Moose Lodge #741, 1225 West Jefferson Street, Plymouth, IN 46563. All are welcome to enjoy a meal following the service.
The family would like to thank the Center for Hospice Care of Plymouth, without their excellent care, Steve would have passed a year ago.
