Andrew Steven Cox

October 30, 1989 - July 9, 2010

Andrew Steven Cox, born in Stockton October 30, 1989, passed away July 9, 2010 as a result

of a motorcycle accident. A 2007 graduate of Lincoln High School, Andrew managed to touch countless people with his kindness and big heart. He was inspiring, encouraging, loyal and compassionate. He loved. He laughed. He lived. He will be remembered for his generosity, inspiration, loyalty and compassion, but even more than that, we will never forget that unforgettable smile and charisma that filled the room when Andrew was around. It will continue on in his greatest accomplishment, his son Aiden.

Andrew played baseball for Sunset LL, Babe Ruth and LHS, but his true passion was football. He played for the North West Trojans Pop Warner team, Lincoln High School and most recently, Andrew played semi-pro football with the Central Valley Rams.

Andrew took great pride in working as an apprentice for the Plumbers & Pipefitters Union Local #447 for Acco Engineering Systems of

Sacramento. His hard work ethic allowed him to buy his first home, an accomplishment he achieved just last month.

Andrew is survived by his adoring son Aiden Andru Cox, fiancÃ© Carmen Garcia, parents Gina RenÃ© (Peck) Cox, Steven & Cara Cox, brother Alan Cox (Katie Townley) niece Kalleigh LenÃ© Cox, sisters Faith RenÃ© Cox-Spear and Lacy Michelle Cox, Aunts & Uncles Stacey (Cox) Byrne & Jim Byrne, Jeremy & Rebecca Peck, Grandparents Sherri Rosen, David & Becky Peck and Mary Jane

Murphy. Great-Grandmother Undine Rosen, Great Aunts and Uncles Sandi & Frank DeBenedetti (Linden), Frances & Dr. Edward

Caul, David & Donna King, Jim & Patricia King (Hoaquim WA), Dean & Elsie Peck (Merced), Kathy & Bill Kavanaugh, Sandy & Virgil Celli, numerous cousins and countless friends whom he cherished.

Friends are invited to a Celebration of Life Saturday July 17, 2010 at 10 a.m. at Alex G. Spanos Stadium, on the Lincoln Football Field. In lieu of flowers, please make donations payable to the Aiden A. Cox Trust Fund c/o Bank of Stockton, P.O. Box 1110, Stockton CA 95201.

Oh Andrew, you left us too soon. Words can't express how painful it has been to not have you in our lives. It will never be as happy & joyful as it once was when you were around with your goofy self. I miss your beautiful smile, kisses, your jokes and warm hugs that you'd give us. Aiden will forever have you in his heart even tho he didn't really get to see how much of an Amazing father he had. Nobody will ever replace you or the unconditional love We have for you❤. There is not one day that you don't come to mind...every time I see a football game I think of you. Aiden is my beautiful reminder of you, he's just as sweet & kind hearted as you were....God blessed me with an Amazing Son. #fatherlikeson . Can't wait to see you in paradise my love. You will forever be in our hearts. R.I.P baby

I don't know how I found myself thinking of you today, but I did. We weren't the best of friends, in fact we never hung out beyond the walls of Algebra 2 in Lincoln High school and saying hi to each other in the passing hallways of Delta College back in 2007 - 2010. I do remember the day I heard that you passed away it was almost as I lost someone close to me... ironic since we were never close. But the fact is, it felt that way and I think it is because of your kind and sweet personality. At the end of the day, you were never a jerk to anyone and to someone like me, who, let's be honest wasn't a cool kid, in fact never really got noticed in high school - you made me feel noticed and that meant a lot. So when I heard the news that God took you away when you had barely entered your twenties, I remember feeling sad and as if someone close to me had passed away.

Its 2018, and the world has become so crazy, divided, and I think you wouldn't like where we are at as a country. Today I was watching the news after a long day, I had a driver next to me give me glares and I felt a certain discomfort because I am a person of color with a not so popular faith. As I got home I found myself thinking, man this wasn't how I grew up, irregardless of race, ethnicity and religion, we all grew up together and got a long. My second thought was immediately thinking of all the white people who always made me feel no different than anyone else back when I was a teenager and a young adult in my formative impressionable years, and that is how your face popped up in my head.

It has been so long since you passed, we weren't close friends, and I don't even know that I would call us friends, but I do know that you were a good person, and you made people feel seen, visible, accepted and you always smiled to anyone passing by in the halls of delta. I would know, I was one of those people.

I wish I had known you better and taken the time to go to your funeral. I am sorry that I didn't and I just want to express my condolences to his family, his friends, and anyone affected by his loss. You were a great human being and you don't realize the impact you had on people like me. That is something I can never repay you and You are deeply missed.

Thank you for being a great person. Miss you Andrew, sincerely.

Andrew - I was at your service today and was amazed by how you have touched so many lives. I had not seen you in a couple of years and when you came to the Breakers for Kevin's going away party for college it was as if I had seen you yesterday. You immediatly gave me a hug and showed off your pride and joy! I am deeply saddened you have left such a void in alot of people's lives. May you rest in peace Andrew! I am sure you are tearing it up on the football field in Heaven!

Andrew was an amazing young man. I was so proud of him when he bought his home. All he could talk about was having a home for his son. He was a special man. I just kept thinking, this guy has his whole life ahead of him, and he is way ahead of the game. My deepest condolences to your family.
