Dennis M. Cox, age 65, of Macomb Twp., MI, passed away suddenly Thursday, May 20, 2021. Beloved husband of Heidi Cox; cherished father of Rachel (Frank) Butcher; loving Papa of Zachary; dear brother of David (Jane) Cox; Debra (Robert) Orlowski, his twin, Daniel (Jan) Cox, and Donald (Sharon) Cox; and uncle of Paul (Jennifer) Cox, Christopher (Sarah) Cox, Stephen (Peg) Orlowski, Gregory (Stephanie) Orlowski, Renee Cox, James Cox, Colleen (Mike) Crowell, Sarah Cox, and Michael Cox.
Dennis’ greatest pride was his family – his grandson, Zachary, was his greatest joy. He was an avid music lover; his favorite band of all time was Simon and Garfunkel. In his younger years, Dennis played the drums in a band named DJD, with his best friends; Dan Damico and Joe Fonti. Watching live concerts was one of his favorite pastimes. He grew up with the love of being on the water, boating, and water skiing. He loved going up to his lake house and most of all enjoyed watching Zachary throw rocks, run in the sand, and playing baseball.
Visitation will be held from 10:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at Resurrection Funeral Home, 40800 Hayes, Clinton Twp., MI. A funeral service will begin at 3:00 p.m. following visitation. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Heart Association.
