Memorial Fund for the family of Jerry Cox

How beautiful the ashes of death become when greeted with the Hope of eternal life.

Jerry Marshall Cox, born and raised in the Clarksburg area, was one of the sweetest and incredibly kind souls this side of Heaven. He was learning who he was and what he loved most. He had found that cooking was both fun and soothed his soul. Playing piano brought him peace and clarity. He loved connecting with people on different levels. He thought deeply, loved reading, kept in mind the things his friends and family loved most, and always offered a goofy joke just when it was needed. He was growing and had decided that every day he just needed to be 1% better.

Jerry spent his last few weeks on earth experiencing and learning about God’s love. He was so overcome by God’s presence at times that he had no words, only gratitude. I got to talk with him and hear all the ways that God was showing him grace, love, opportunity, and more. In that little bit of time, Jerry boldly shared and proclaimed the Gospel to friends and family as often he could. Jerry was full of HOPE, knowing that God held the key to every need and desire of his life.

On February 16, 2023, Jerry was in a single-vehicle accident that ended his life. Jerry was fortunate enough to join God face to face. His eternity was sealed and he will forever have the joy of living alongside his Creator and the one whom he greatly loved. Even knowing this, our family is heart-broken. There truly are no words to describe losing a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, an uncle, a loved one, a long-time friend.

Amidst the pain and grief and loss, we still have work to do. Unfortunately, there were no finances planned for such a tragic situation and the family has to pay for all funeral, burial, and other miscellaneous expenses. We would sincerely appreciate any monetary donations to help cover the cost of such expenses. The love and support we have already received has been overwhelming and we are sure it will continue. Thank you in advance for every word, card, donation, thought, prayer, and time you spend thinking of us.

We are forever grateful,

Jerry's Family
