Paul Carroll Cox, devoted husband, loving father, grandfather, brother and mentor, died December 31, 2021 after a prolonged battle with lung illness. A local entrepreneur, avid hunter, and coach, Paul was surrounded by his loving family as he passed peacefully at his home in Bolton, MS. His brilliant, energetic, and charming personality was beloved by his family, countless friends and business associates and, given his love for a good hunt, he is undoubtedly chasing big bucks in Heaven.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Carroll and Helen (née Shelton) and brother Michael. He is survived by his college sweetheart and wife of 47 years, Patsy; children Andrea Cox Champagne and husband Jason; Christina Cox; Patrick Cox and wife Jennifer; grandchildren Haven, Cade, Olivia, Charlotte, and Cooper; sister Susan Cox Phillips and husband George.
