In Loving Memory of Alan Wayne Cox Sr.
September 19, 1945 – April 7, 2026
Alan Wayne Cox Sr. passed away peacefully in his home on the morning of April 7, 2026 with his devoted wife by his side. Born in Patterson, California, Alan was a devoted family man known for his quick wit and his many passions.
He married the love of his life, Cheryl Wojcik Cox, July 9th , 1965. They were blessed with 60 years of marriage and three precious children that Alan loved immensely. If you asked Alan what he was most proud of, without hesitation, he would say " my children. "
In his early sixties, Alan was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He found great joy in reading the Bible and was dedicated to sharing his faith, often speaking to others about Jehovah and the hope of God’s Kingdom.
Alan was an avid fisherman and a loyal fan of the Chicago Cubs and the Arkansas Razorbacks. He also spent much of his time tinkering in his shed. He was a frequent visitor to Harbor Freight, where he added to his extensive tool collection, maintaining a particular fondness for flashlights. He also enjoyed the daily newspaper comics and was well known for his signature "dad jokes." Especially during retirement he loved spending time with his family, enjoyed being teased relentlessly by his boys, and he loved listening to people and giving them an opportunity to tell their story.
In the kitchen, Alan was famous for his fish fries and his creative recipes, though he always remained a fan of simple vanilla bean ice cream. Later in life, he shared a special bond with his loyal dog, Kenny. Alan loved having Kenny by his side and spent much of his time at home with him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Ruby Cox, his Brother Roger Cox, and his sister Wanda Clark. He is survived by his wife, Cheryl Wojcik Cox his son, Alan Cox Jr. and wife Mystina; his daughter, Sherry Clark and husband Billy; his son, Jason Cox and wife Shelley; his brother, Don Cox and wife Kim; and his grandchildren, Mallory Clark, Chance Clark, and Connor Cox. Alan’s warmth and generous spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
