Thanks from the Cox Family

Here's a thank you that I wrote on behalf of our family for the Weatherford Daily News:

From the Byron Cox family:

A few weeks ago our family lost a husband, dad, granddad, brother, and uncle. And our community lost its Chief of Police. 

As a family, we would like to express our gratitude to the community of Weatherford. The countless encouraging words and prayers, cards and phone calls, many plants, seemingly endless supplies of food, and donations to Multi-County Youth Services have brought us comfort and joy in our grief. Thanks you.

We would also like to express our thanks to the Weatherford Police Department. Through the years you have become like family to us. We know better than most that your service too often goes unappreciated. Thank you. 


As Byron’s health steadily deteriorated, he steadily rose to the challenge. He did so because he loved his work. He loved serving this community and spent his life seeking to improve it. As a community, your love and support of us in these days is a reflection of what Byron loved about Weatherford. We are truly grateful to call Weatherford “home.”
