Luther Jerome Cox

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.

Luther is survived by his loving mother, Juanita Bishop Cox of Water Valley, MS, two sisters, Diane Egerson of Water Valley, MS formerly married to Richard Egerson of Oxford, MS, and Wyanda (Sherman) White, one brother Charles (Linda) Cox, all from Water Valley, MS; two special sisters, Yolanda Hall of Water Valley, MS and Marcia (Pastor James) Williams of Memphis, TN; two uncles, Johnny Bishop of Memphis, TN and Holiday Cox of Oxford, MS; three aunts, Grace Bishop of Water Valley, MS, Annie Catherine Cox of Oxford, MS, and Dorothy Bishop of Batesville, MS; nine nieces, Tywanda Harden, Telesha Berry, Tareshia (Matthew) Jacobs, Shenail Cox, Sharondaka (Alf) Burt, Charlindaka Cox, Beonica Cox, Whitney White, and Tyra (Kadero) Edley; as well as numerous great-nephews, great-nieces, cousins, and dear friends.
