Gerard Cox

In loving Memory

Gerard Cox

May 29, 1952 - January 18, 2026

It is with heavy hearts to announce the sudden passing of our loved one, Gerard, Papa G. on January 18th, 2026, in Chilliwack B.C.

Gerard was the son of late Margaret and Everest Cox.

Born in St. Alban’s Newfoundland and growing up in Cape Breton he found the passion for music, and carpentry.  These two passions kept him busy and living the life he wanted to live.  Everything he touched was done with perfection, every note he played, and every bang of the hammer all came from his heart. 

He passed on his love for music to his grandkids, teaching them guitar and always playing for them.  He struggled with many health issues in the last 10 years and put his carpentry skills into to building guitars until he was unable to focus. He was a fighter to the end and now rests in peace leaving music in our hearts and memories never to be forgotten.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Kim, children Candace, Nick, Holly, and Jennifer. 6 Grandkids Bryce, Seth, Hunter, Jazz, Jeremy and Addy and 8 siblings, Sisters, Mollie (Jack) Pickup, Marjorie (Danie) MacDonald, Rosemary (Bill) Lane, Elizabeth, Ada (Bill) Bungay. Brothers, Joe (Charlene), Abie (Debbie), Albert (Diane), Johnnie in infancy, Special nephew Clayton Lane.

There will be a personal celebration of life at a later date to be scheduled that will be full of music he loved and people that truly cared and loved him.
