I consider myself blessed to have worked with Eric, he was a cops cop, and a good man. He could always break the tension of a situation with some hilarious sarcasm. I know he is managing the K-9 corps in heaven. He will be missed, prayers for his family 🙏
I miss you so much my love.
So impressed with your service and proud to be a part of your family brother.
It was an extremely beautiful service !!
I just learned about this and met and grew to respect him and consider him a friend in the 2000’s. I also knew his mom Cheryl and Duane and Tristan. He definitely could cut the tension with hilarious sarcasm and his hearty laugh. Rest easy you Jolly Roger, (my military – NAVY brother) from an Army sister, I always loved our joshing around about our military branches! I will honor you tomorrow before ARMY v. NAVY game! We got the watch! You will be missed! Condolences to your entire family FIRE, NAVY, POLICE but most of all your wife, kids, mom, Duane and dad! Thank you for your service!
Condolences to his family, friends, and co-workers. Eric Cox did well as a police officer and LT; he worked security while I was working at the credit union and helped keep a safe environment, I remember his police dog Officer Paco. I remember his professionalism, and kindness, work in the community, friendship, and humor. A role model, thank you for your service and dedication to military and policing! He had keen awareness and was very attentive. God bless.
