ROBERT LEE COX
May 1, 1945 — April 7, 2026
It is with heavy hearts and profound respect that we announce the passing of Robert Lee Cox, a devoted family man and cherished friend, who left us peacefully at home on April 7, 2026, after a courageous battle with lung issues. Born on May 1, 1945, in Elliso, West Virginia, Robert was a beacon of love, strength, and resilience to all who knew him.
Robert was the beloved son of the late Woodrow Wilcon Cox and Lena Mae Ellison. He grew up with a deep appreciation for family values, which he carried with him throughout his life. He was predeceased by his loving wife Sandra Cox, his devoted son Robert Cox Jr., and his cherished daughter Glenda Calabrace.
Robert’s legacy is carried on by his devoted children and stepchildren: Lena Yorgey, and stepsons Gilbert and Michael Warner. He also leaves behind his dear brother Kenneth Cox and many treasured grandchildren who brought immense joy to his life.
Throughout his life, Robert was known for his unwavering dedication to his family and the kindness he extended to those around him. His warm smile and gentle spirit touched the lives of many and will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A service to celebrate Robert's life will be held on November 14, 2026. As we gather to honor his memory, we remember the laughter and love he shared, which will continue to inspire and comfort us.
Robert Lee Cox will forever remain in our hearts, a testament to a life well-lived and a love unending. May he rest in peace, reunited with those he loved and lost, embraced by the eternal light that guided him throughout his journey.
In lieu of flowers, the family of ROBERT LEE COX welcomes donations to a charity, nonprofit, church, or organization of your choosing.
