Wilcox was the son of the late Billy Wayne Wilcox and Feral Coleman Wilcox. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Elijah and Vertice Coleman; paternal grandparents, Edwin and Alowe Wilcox; special aunt, Linda Coleman Carson; uncle, Johnny Coleman; and cousin, Rhonda Sue Coleman.

Survivors include his wife of 28 years, Lindsay Jones Wilcox; three children, Payton Chance Wilcox, Paxton Ty Wilcox (Jansen Nipper) and Kaira Wilcox Hayes (Caleb); three grandchildren, Cam, Kase, and Cain Hayes; brother, Scott Wilcox (Lacey) of Hoboken; mother-in-law, Rugena Taylor (Joe Penor); fatherin- law, Pete Jones (Ramona); sister-in-law Maygen Holton (David); nephews, Jacob and Caleb Holton; many aunts, uncles and cousins also survive.

If you knew him you knew the love he had for God, his family, his friends, his businesses and his community. You would also know his strong will and his determination of anything he put his mind to.

That same strong will and determination allowed Wilcox to battle a disease that up until his last breath he fought to overcome. He ultimately won that battle for today he is surely walking and talking nonstop.

Wilcox loved to talk and always had his mind open to learn. He seemed to have a knowledge of just about everything.

Wilcox loved his family more than life. His children and his grandchildren brought more joy to him than they will ever know. His wife was as important to him as the air he breathed. Without her by his side to him felt he simply could not live.

We will forever miss his earthly presence in our lives, but he will forever live in our hearts.
