In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his grandson Terry Wayne Roark, Jr. and his brother Hubert Cox.
Left to cherish Junior's memory are his daughter Crystal Cox Cornell (friend Randy Bentley); his sons Kevin Jackson and Nathaniel Cox; his step-son Robbie Grubbs; his grandchildren Shelby Rose Gragg, Tiffany Amber Perry, Fearl Marie Cox, Makenzie Dezzoray Cox, Raegan Ashley Cox, and Nathaniel Seth Cox; his great-grandchildren Chloe Lynn Johnson, Serenity Rose Gragg, and Atlas; and his sister Trula Cox Brown.
Junior loved tinkering in his garage on anything with a motor. He loved the outdoors and loved taking care of stray cats. He would give you the shirt off his back. Junior was a loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
Private services will be announced at a later date.
Pendry's Lenoir Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Junior Matthew Cox.
