I miss Uncle Ben.  He was the kindest person that I have ever known.  And he was the most patient.  We lost Uncle Ben and then my mom about a week later.  He was her last contemporary, and they left us almost at the same time!  I miss both of them!

Love you guys!

Cousin Jackie

We have known Ben since about 1982. He touched everyone’s hearts because of Christ in his life. 
We are thankful for the Lord for his service that led many to know the Lord as their Savior.  Ben taught us to trust Him in our daily lives. He came our Bible Study every Sat. at the NW part of Ark. He shared his testimonies, humors & his hobbies. 
He came in my mother’s room. 
She had been bedridden with her strokes. He prayed for mom. We are grateful for his humility & kindness. We love him dearly. 
May the Lord bring comfort & strength to all of his families.

The funeral was beautiful!  I loved seeing my cousins and their families.  Uncle Ben was loved by so many people and will be missed.  Love to all of you.



I've had the blessing of knowing Ben for 30+ years through our fellowships during the Southern Baptist Conference of the Deaf annual meetings.  It was a joy having Ben as a part of our Sunday morning worship gatherings when he was staying with his daughter Pat.  As he ministered to me for many years, I had the opportunity to minister to him.  That's the great joy of being in the family of God as followers of Jesus Christ.  The Brentwood Baptist Deaf Church family offers our prayers and condolences to the family of Ben.  We will truly miss his big presence AND his humor especially his riddles!  We love you all.

So sorry to hear the passing of Cousin, Ben Cox. So thankful to have gotten to know him. What a legacy he leaves behind! I am proud to be his cousin. 
May the promise of heaven and that he knew Christ as Lord & savior bring much comfort to all those that loved him.
 Praying for his family! 

I was saddened to see this news about Ben.  I have fond memories of the Cox, Gladney, Keough, and Hudson families getting together often.  Us kids used to make so much noise just because we could since our parents were deaf.  Ben was such a sweet, dear, God-fearing man.  So sorry for all of you.

To the Cox Family
Ben Cox was one of my most memorable persons while growing up in Memphis back in the 1970s.  Every time I came to shake his hand, he would pinch down on my thumb with his thumb and ask if I would give up...to which I always did!  I also remember he had a small dog (chihuahua I think) that I was deathly afraid of.....until I took the time to let him come to me and then the petting factory was on.  Mostly, I knew of Ben's stalwart faith.  My father, Leonard West, and I talked about Ben often.  I'm glad I'll get to see him later on.  I did learn something about him today.  I always thought he was a Tennessean and TSD graduate.  Since he was from Mississippi and a MSD graduate, it's no wonder my dad and he got along well!  God Bless.

I’ll always  remember Mr.Ben Cox.  He has taught me so much. He was so caring loving funny tell jokes he’s Godly man. Truly missed him so much. Now he’s with the Lord happy with his lovely sweet wife, family & friends. 🤟 Mr. Ben Cox prayers and thoughts to his family. 

Mr. Cox was one of the kindest people we’ve ever known. He was a true gentleman. We first met him and his wife about 1975 when we got to know Steve. Later in the early 1990’s Danny’s parents moved to Bartlett and were neighbors of Ben and Evelyn. It’s truly a small world and we were happy to renew our friendship. He leaves a wonderful legacy of good children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. They will carry on in his example of love. 


I’ve known Mr. Cox for 60 years.  He always had a smile and a joke for us neighborhood kids.  After working all night at the Commercial Appeal, he would come home, and take us kids fishing.  On Sunday mornings or when it rained, he helped Benny and me with our paper route.  I was fascinated with his woodwork and his coin collection.  He will be missed!  My prayers go out to the family.

Ben was best family friend of four generations of Blaylock. My Dad Roy, Sr. was his very close just like a brother and they worked together on mission trips, at Commerical Appeal for many years, together as oridianed preachers, many more where my dad and our family learned a lot from Ben. I thank God for sending him to earth loving his whole family and touching countless hearts all on our earth. My heartfelt condolences to Pat, Benny, Steve and all their family

Mr. Cox has always been a favorite of Larry and I.  His upbeat personality and love of life was contagious.  Love and prayers to all the family.  We were fortunate to have known him and will truly be missed.
