Thomas George Cox entered into the hands of our Lord and Savior on Friday, July 17, 2026, at the age of 61.

He proudly dedicated his life to serving his country, first as a member of the United States Marine Corps, then the United States Army, and later continued his service as a civilian Course Instructor Developer with the Defense Ammunition Center.
