Jeffrey Fox Obituary
Rocky Mount –
Jeffrey Wade Fox, age 62, passed away peacefully Monday evening, January 27, 2025 with his devoted brothers by his side. He was born in Edgecombe County on August 7, 1962, youngest son of James Horace Fox and Annie Reece Speight Fox, both of whom preceded him in death.
He is survived by his brothers, James Mitchell Fox and wife, Susan and Timothy H. Fox, all of Rocky Mount; niece, Elizabeth Gray Fox of Cary; nephews, James Derek Fox and wife, Leah and Stephen Bradley Fox and wife, Cameron, all of Wilson; great-nieces and nephews, James Davis Fox, John Reece Fox, Anna Baker Fox, Sutton Grace Fox and Hadlea Rose Fox; along with several other extended relatives.
Jeff was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying all that nature had to offer. Many times he found himself fishing for bass or crappie in any pond he could find. Another passion of his was dealing in antiques; he frequently set up shop at Wainwright’s in Wilson, where he enjoyed selling alongside his brother, Tim. Jeff was also known for his quick wit and being upfront about his likes and dislikes. Though he sometimes came across having a tough exterior, he also had a soft spot for animals, mainly dogs and cats. His memory will live on through his beloved nieces and nephews, brothers, and those who were fortunate enough to know him.
A memorial service will be held at 2:00pm on Tuesday, February 4, 2025 at Davis-Little Funerals, 2129 Lawrence Circle, Rocky Mount, NC 27804. The family will receive friends immediately following the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society, P.O. Box 6704, Hagerstown, MD 21741.
