It is with great sadness that the family of Blake Cox announce the sudden passing of our son and brother which occurred at his home in Cocagne due to medical difficulties. Born in Halifax on December 27, 1956 he was the son of Philip and Agnes (Morrison) Cox.  Blake moved to Riverview when he was two years old. Besides his parents, he is survived by a brother Robb (Toronto); several aunts and uncles and many cousins.

Blake was very devoted to his work as a Civil Engineer Technician with companies throughout the Maritime Region.  He loved and participated in many sports, his favourites being hockey and golf. He also volunteered as a Referee in Minor sports and officiated in Provincial and Junior Hockey. 

His volunteer work also involved many years of service with the Riverview Fire Department as a firefighter and he enjoyed it immensely.  He thanked them for a great learning experience.

There will be no visitation or funeral service. Graveside service and burial will be in Cape Breton at a later date.   Arrangements are entrusted to Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Rd, Riverview (506-869-2007).  Donations in his memory may be made to a charity of donor’s choice.
