March 17, 1966 – March 10, 2019
Allan “Scott” Cox, 52, unexpectedly passed away on March 10, 2019.
Scott is survived by his wife Tanya, sons Steven and Andrew, daughters Heather (Kyle) and Rebekah, and puppies Nala and Ava. Scott was a loving father, husband, and friend.
Scott was born in Orillia, Ontario to Allan and Elizabeth Cox. On June 10, 1989, he married his former wife, Theresa Murphy, and shared four children. He worked as a contractor before opening his own business, Allan’s Plaster and Painting, which came to an end in 1997. Starting in a new direction, Scott went to Mohawk College for Integrated Technology and began his IT career at CIBC, where he met his current wife, Tanya (Wood) Cox. Tanya and Scott were married on September 5th, 2003; they were happily married for 15 years.
Scott enjoyed barbecuing and cooking (especially steak & the spicier the better), always with a glass of red wine. Scott had many pastimes – one of his favorites being waking his kids up for school by playing Green Day on his electric guitar with the amp turned up to the max. He also enjoyed watching football, his favourite team being the San Francisco 49ers. Scott was a dreamer, and always had more projects on the go than you could count. Always with some type of renovation work to be done, you wouldn’t catch him wearing anything other than his safety Crocs, which doubled as snowshoes, and aided in his unwavering protest of winter. Scott loved to engage in profound conversation and always imparted his wisdom to his children. A loving and dedicated father, Scott cherished time with his family greatly, especially games night. Scott had a playful spirit and always had a joke or sarcastic remark for anything that came at him.
A dedicated follower of Christ since 1991, Scott remained faithful to the end.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM on Friday, March 15th at the Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main St, Dundas, ON L9H 2P7.
Scott was a great Man with a huge heart! He will be missed by all of us who loved him!

Scott was a trustworthy, amazing friend and teacher of the gospel. It always felt like he was talking about his friend and I looked forward to his words and encouragement. I will miss him dearly but I am happy to know he is at rest and will open his eyes before Christ to hear, “well done, my friend”. Until then I will miss him. May God bless his family and friends with grace and peace and warmth from all the loving memories.
I am speechless to find the right words to convey my deepest sympathies for Scott’s family and friends. He was an incredibly smart, generous, funny, and wonderful man. I am very grateful to have been able to call him a friend and to have worked with him. Love and peace to all.

Dear Tanya & family – my deepest sympathies to all of you. May the wonderful times you had together bring lasting memories to follow you for your lifetime. Know that he’s only gone from sight and with you everyday on your journey through life.
My condolences to Scott’s family. I had the pleasure to work with Scott for the past 4 years. I still remember when we first met in 2015 in Winnipeg; and he was wearing his shorts and crocks at -10C. In addition to be a very funny guy, he was my “go to” guy when I needed something from his team. “Au revoir” Scott and may your soul rest in peace.
It’s sad to know that Scott is no longer with us . Underneath that joyful and humorous character, was a guy who’s loving, smart and sincere. I got nothing but respect for Scott. Mar 17 is more than St.Patrick day, its Green day, it’s Scott’s day.
Our condolences to Scott’s family. He’ll be miss by everyone…
Thinking of you and family during this sad and difficult time May God be your great comforter at this time and forever. Our sincere condolences to you and your family.
Nita and Michael

Scott was a wonderful man. I had the privilege of working with him; he was always generous and supportive with his time and energy. As someone else said – “A huge heart”. Such a shock, such a shame. I offer my condolences to his family. Be well…

When I was in high school. RIP Scott. Oooooh Yeah! (In my best Macho Man Voice) XO
Tanya, I am so sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers to you and your family.
I met Scott while working in the bowels of the CHCH building. He certainly made everyday brighter down there by his witty humour and playing practical jokes on us – (I hope Saint Peter doesn’t mind having the keys to the Pearly Gates hidden on a daily basis). My sincere condolences to Scott’s family at this devastatingly difficult time.
My condolences to Scott’s family and friends. I had the pleasure of working with Scott for 10 years. He was always able to lighten the mood with his good nature and sense of humour. Whether it was calling your name and asking “how far would you have been?” or wearing flip-flops in the snow, he had a way of making you laugh. Scott was a great guy who will be missed by many. Thanks for the laughs!
RIP SCOTT.. MY LOVING NEPHEW THAT I NEVER MET.. BUT WE TALKED ON MESSENGER ..GOING TO MISS THE TALKS WE HAD. .AND MY CONDOLENCES TO TANYA AND KIDS AND FAMILY ..LOVE AUNT TAMMY .
We are saddened to hear about Scott. We want to extend our condolences to the family for having lost a good man, but we know we’ll see him again some day as we share a common belief in the only true hope for humanity – Jesus Christ. Take your sleep Scott until we meet again.
I had the great pleasure of working with Scott. Very saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences.
My deepest and most sincere condelences to all of you who loved him. He was a great neighbour and friend and will be missed.
So sorry for your loss. We certainly enjoyed seeing him yearly at the Cox Reunion. He was a great support for his Dad when he was sick. Sorry we can’t attend service but will share info to others! Happy to know we will see him again !
So sorry to hear of you loss. Praying for comfort from the only one who can!
Enjoyed seeing Scott at annual Cox Reunion. Family was important to him
Hugs to all
Tanya,
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
My deepest condolences.
My deepest sympathies to you and your family Tanya. May you find peace in your memories now and in the days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Still trying to understand or make sense of this loss but God’s plan is greater than all of us and isn’t always made known.
Scott was such a unique individual; he could as easily play pranks as solve complex problems at work, he could as easily insulate a house as wax philosophic on faith, on family. As someone said recently, he lived life the way he wanted to; we are all the better for having known him.
Tanya, Heather, Steven, Andrew, Rebekah – our thoughts and prayers are with you.
So sorry to hear about. Scott. Always enjoyed seeing and talking to him at our Cox family reunions. Condolences to the family.
A smile we will remember along
with the great debates
Richard & Scott had during renovations .
Our condolences to all. May memories constant flow
Richard ,Arlene & family
My deepest condolences to Tanya and the rest of Scott’s family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Tanya. May you find comfort in your memories of him. R.I.P
I had the pleasure of working with Scott for over 13 years. So many laughs and pranks and good talks and great memories. Our boss liked to say “we work hard and we play hard”. I think Scott embodied that so well. 🙂 I’m going to miss you, buddy. Till we meet again.
My condolences to Tanya and Scott’s children and family. My love is with all of you during this difficult time. Scott will be missed very much. Words cannot truly express how much.
Love Tanaz
To the Family of Scott Cox

We share your loss and would like you to know that we are lifting you up in our prayers, beseeching our Heavenly Father to send you the peace and comfort which only He can give. May the God and Father of all comfort hold you together and keep you with the hope of the resurrection when you will see your loved one again. We pray you may find encouragement in the promise that God: “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away” (Revelation 21:4).
Tanya,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. May you find comfort and peace during this time.

Scott was by far one of the most unique people I have ever met. There was always a big smile on his face every
Time I saw him. Usually followed by some sort of joke or riddle. He will be missed by many
Our thoughts go out to Tanya and family

Tanya – I was sad to hear the news of Scott’s passing. I always got a warm feeling of your family life with him when you and I took the time to chat about our lives… My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.
Tanya, I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, Scott. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Hugs.
Scott treated all of us at work like family. He was both fun and a respected voice. I loved Scott’s philosophy regarding life, politics, religion, food and about all other life’s joy’s ( including and most importantly Football! )
So many of us are richer in knowing and enjoying life with Scott.
My thoughts are with Tanya, Heather, Steven, Andrew, Rebekah and the rest of Scott’s large work and Church families.
My heart goes out to you and your family Tanya. Big hugs.
Tanya, my thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. Yvonne Bell
All is well! God will take care of you and your family even in death. Those that hold on to the end shall be saved, Bro Scott was faithful; see you at the resurrection. Tanya and family you are in my prayer!
My sincere condolences to you Tanya and the Cox family. I only had the pleasure of meeting Scott a few times but I remember he always had a welcoming smile, a friendly joke and wearing shorts in the cold of winter. I offer my support and sympathies and will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace Scott.
I just recently found out Scott passed away last month.
Tanya I am so deeply sorry to hear this and send my deepest condolences to your family.
I worked with Scott @ Postmedia for the last 5 years – I loved his sense of humor.
He will be missed…Rest in Power Scott.
