Rickie Cox Obituary, Death – Rickie Alan Cox II, a beloved member of the Galion community, passed away on December 12, 2023, at the age of 51 after a courageous battle with a lengthy illness. Born on May 20, 1972, in Marion, Ohio, Rickie was the son of Pastor Rickie Sr. and Janice Cox, who both survive him at home. The entire Cox family and the Galion church community are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Rickie was a long-time member of Trinity Gospel Tabernacle in Galion, where his father serves as the Pastor. Known for his fun-loving nature and infectious laughter, Rickie had a zest for life that endeared him to his close friends. He found solace and joy in the great outdoors, expressing his passion through activities like deer hunting and fishing. However, his deepest love was reserved for motorcycles, particularly his cherished Harleys. Whether riding or tinkering with them, Rickie shared this passion with his father, creating a special bond between them.

In addition to his outdoor pursuits, Rickie was a collector with diverse interests. His extensive collection included knives, old straight razors, and a variety of hats, which he proudly wore, embodying an “old style” look. Rickie was not only an enthusiast but also a tattoo artist, showcasing his artistic talent in various works of art.

Family held a special place in Rickie’s heart, especially his grandbabies. He is survived by the “love of his life,” Heather Landon-Cox, his children Codi, Amber, and Destiny Cox, granddaughter Blakely Cox, and sister Jennifer (Eric) Zehner.

Visitation to celebrate Rickie’s life will be held on Monday, December 18th, at the Timson & Melroy Funeral Home from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. A graveside service is scheduled for December 19th at 1:00 PM in Grand Prairie Cemetery, with Pastor Rick Cox officiating.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made in Rickie’s name to Trinity Gospel Tabernacle Church at 326 First Avenue, Galion, Ohio 44833. This gesture reflects Rickie’s commitment to his faith and community, leaving a lasting legacy of love, laughter, and shared passions.
