Elder McClendon Cox, was an awesome teacher at Oakhaven High School. Student's respected and looked up to him. He was a power house of knowledge. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work  with him. He was a great listener and singer! If he could help you, he was always willing.  A true Christian. 

I remember McClendon as my 9th/10th grade g
Geometry and Algebra 2 teacher at Oakhaven High School. Becuase he knew I was a christian, he expected an A+ from me and the best of attitude everyday. He was a great man, songleader, and teacher. He will be surely missed!

The Ford family would like to offer their condolences to the Cox family.   We loved Bro Cox and will miss him dearly. 

Mrs. Cox and Family may God grant you comfort, strength and peace during this journey. I am Praising God for Mr. Cox's life and his work with the young people he taught. He was indeed the "Best Math Teacher". I worked with Mr. Cox at Oakhaven High School, and as a first year teacher,  he was a true mentor to me always kind, smiling and guiding with wisdom. 1 Peter 5:7: "Let Him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about and watching everything that concerns you."
