Michael Cox Obituary

Michael John Cox 47, died Friday August 22nd, in Thornton CO. He is survived by his mom Sharon, sister Erin, niece Lillian, and nephews Owen, Evan, and Davin.

Michael was born October 3rd 1977 in Hayward CA. He loved watching sports, music, cooking, his motorcycle, and hard work. From working on the fishing boats in Alaska, to a fishery in Hawaii, to his final career as a public transit bus driver in Colorado he was a jack of all trades.

Michael was a son, brother, Uncle and friend to many. He always put others before himself and loved his family. Mike leaves behind Aunts, Uncles and cousins that love him.

Michael suffered a life altering motorcycle accident and fought hard everyday for over a year.

While we will miss him dearly, we know he is no longer suffering and is pain free, up in heaven with his dad and grandparents.
