Luther Jerome Cox, 64, a cherished son, brother, uncle, and friend, was called home to be with the Lord on the afternoon of Saturday, October 5, 2024 in Water Valley, MS. He was born on September 17, 1960 to Juanita Bishop Cox and the late Richard Stanhope Cox in Water Valley. Luther was a beloved member of New Providence M.B. Church.
In 1979, Luther graduated from Water Valley High School. He began his career at Holley Carburetor before pursuing his passion for trucking by obtaining his CDL and becoming a full-time truck driver. Throughout his journey, he also dedicated himself to helping other drivers along the way. He found joy and fulfillment cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers, barbecuing on the grill, watching over the community, and spending time with family and friends.
