Jerry L. Cox, born on August 9, 1959, in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, passed away on October 21, 2026, in Collinsville, Oklahoma, after a courageous two-year battle with cancer.
He was a loving, spirited, and friendly man whose presence brought warmth and comfort to those around him. Jerry lived a life marked by devotion to his family, loyalty to his work, and a genuine kindness that left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. He will be remembered for his steady character, his easy smile, and the way he made others feel welcome and valued.
Jerry graduated from Catoosa High School and went on to build a long and dedicated career with Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems, where he worked for 40 years. His strong work ethic, reliability, and commitment earned the respect of his coworkers and all who had the privilege of working alongside him.
On December 14, 1996, Jerry married the love of his life, Virginia Cox, in Oologah, Oklahoma. Their marriage was a source of strength, companionship, and deep affection throughout the years. Together they built a life centered on love, family, and shared memories that will continue to be cherished by those who knew them best.

He was deeply proud of his family and treasured the time he spent with them. His love for them was evident in all he did, and his legacy will live on through the many lives he touched.
He enjoyed life's simple pleasures and found happiness in the things he loved most. Jerry loved golf and enjoyed following his favorite football team, the OU Sooners. These interests brought him joy and gave him opportunities to share good times with family and friends. Whether on the golf course or cheering for his team, he embraced those moments with enthusiasm and spirit.
Jerry will be remembered not only for the years he lived, but for the way he lived them. His memory will remain a blessing to his family and all who were fortunate enough to know him
