Tremonton – Our Loving Husband, Father, Brother and a friend to all passed away early Wednesday morning May 12, 2010 at the Bear River Valley Care Center.
E. LeRoy Cox was born October 11, 1931 in Inglewood, CA, but soon after moved to Snowville, UT. He was a loving and caring father of 2 children, Robert LeRoy Cox and Donna RaeDean Cox when he met the love and caring woman he wanted to share his life with. Although Thelma had been married previously and had six children, he loved and cared for them all as if they were really his own. LeRoy and Thelma were married in 1968 and were blessed with twins, Matthew Alan and Melanie Ann Cox which made their family complete. The Family spent many days in the great outdoors camping and fishing in the spring and summer and hunting in the fall. After Thelma retired from the I.R.S. they wanted to move to Tremonton where they enjoyed the more relaxed style of living and the friendliness of everyone. They made wonderful friends and happy memories.
