Kevin Cox

June 7, 1963 — July 5, 2025

Mr. Kevin Ray Cox of the Mac community of Taylor County, son of JoAnn Houk Rattliff and the late Jerry Ray Cox, was born on June 7, 1963 in Campbellsville, Kentucky. He departed this life on Saturday, July 5, 2025 at his home having attained the age of 62 years and 28 days.

He had made a profession of faith in Christ and recently rededicated his life to the Lord. Kevin was a member of Mt. Roberts Baptist Church.

Kevin was a highly skilled mechanic for many years. He was well seasoned at his job and highly trusted by his customers. Kevin owned his own shop and enjoyed traveling around the community to work on equipment for his buddies. Kevin’s biggest fan, his dog Max, traveled many miles together. It was very likely that if you seen Kevin out, Max was by his side.

Kevin had a passion for dirt track racing and working on race cars. He considered it an honor and privilege to be able to serve as a crew chief in racing.

Besides being a mechanic, working on race cars, and his dog Max, Kevin’s biggest pride and joy was his son, Jonah.
