Jack A. Cox, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and physician, passed away peacefully on November 20, 2013.
Jack, son of Frederick Harris and Catherine Pett Cox, was born May 22, 1936 in Pocatello, Idaho.
He married Janet Louise Chapman, of Rexburg, Idaho, on August 17, 1962 in the Idaho Falls Temple; they are the parents of five children and grandparents of eighteen grandchildren. Jack's family was his greatest joy, and he often told his children and grandchildren they were his finest accomplishment. Jack and Janet were blessed to celebrate fifty-one years together.
Jack was ambitious, bright, and-as he often told his children-he worked his "tail feathers off." After graduating from Utah State University, Jack earned his medical degree from the University of Colorado. His specialty training and service in the U.S. Army included assignments in Fort Lewis, Washington; Fort Campbell, Kentucky; Washington, DC; and Stuttgart and Heidelberg, Germany.
Dr. Cox practiced as an Ear, Nose, and Throat Physician for thirty-five years and was revered by his patients for his compassion and gentle ways.
Jack was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He was a missionary in Helsinki, Finland, and served in many church callings, including bishop, high councilor, and counselor in a stake presidency. Jack and Janet were service missionaries at the BYU Jerusalem Center from 2006-2007, and their time together in the Holy Land was one of the highlights of their lives.
Jack lived his life without fanfare. He was the truest gentleman and preferred serving outside the limelight. Many of his kindest acts were performed anonymously. Jack was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by his family, who will always cherish his legacy of kindness, dedication, humility, and integrity.
Jack is survived by his wife, Janet; their five children and their spouses, Jeff (Gayle) Cox, Julia Cox, Jon (Amy) Cox, Jana (Tyler) Brough, Jason (Leslie) Cox; and their eighteen grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, November 26, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. in the Farmington North Stake Center, 729 Shepard Court, Farmington.
