Born
October 27, 1951, in Nassau, Bahamas. He was the only child of Cecil
and Edna Fox. His father has passed on but his mother still lives in
the Bahamas. From his tender years, he was attentive to the
scriptures and at age 10, he was baptized and added to the Lord's
body. He worshipped with the saints at Highbury Park Church of
Christ until he became a young adult.
In his early twenties he decided to leave the country of his birth and
come to America. At this point in his life, there were 2 decisions he
had made which he never regretted. The first decision was to become
a baptized believer. The second decision was to come to America
because that's where he met his wife.
Married
December 30, 1976. He was a loving and devoted husband and father for
forty-three years. The husband of one wife, his surviving spouse,
Treathyl Vandie Fox. Their union was blessed with 11 children:
Isaaiel Fox; Charniel Fox; Gabriel Fox; Michael Fox; Daniel Fox;
Michel Fox-Kennell; Kahmeel Fox; Samuel Fox; Sherrel Fox; Raquel Fox;
and Janel Fox. He is survived by all of his children, along with
several grandchildren, and a great grandchild.
In
his life, he strived to use the talents and skills that God gave him
to accomplish good. He was content with whatever blessings he
received, and was more than happy to assist others if he was able to.
He tried as best he could to instill his faith in his children, so
that they would know The Way and how to find their way. He honored
his marriage vows and faithfully loved and cherished his wife in
sickness and in health, through difficult times and joyful times. He
humbly acknowledged his failures and shortcomings, confessed his
faults, and always sought his healing and guidance from God's Word.
This was his approach to dealing with anything and everything in this
life. These particular scriptures kept him anchored:
“And
whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water ...
assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”
(Matthew 10: 42)
“See
that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what
is good both for yourselves and for all.” (1 Thessalonians 5: 15)
“Looking
unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that
was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set
down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12: 2)
He
will be missed.
