Hermon Lee Cox
Age 85, a resident of Summers, Arkansas, passed away Wednesday, August 6, 2025 at Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He was born October 21, 1939 in Lincoln, Arkansas, the son of Carl Henry and Gertrude Helen (Wilson) Cox.
He was a member of Liberty Baptist Church in Dutch Mills and had served as a Gideon, sharing his faith and supporting the mission of Bible distribution. Hermon was always quick to answer the call to serve, whether it was filling the pulpit, teaching a Sunday School class, or preaching a funeral when asked. He was more than willing to share the Word of God and was deeply committed to his faith and calling.
Hermon was a hardworking man of deep faith and quiet strength. He retired from Jones Truck Lines after 30 years of service. A lifelong resident of the area, Hermon was also a dedicated cattle farmer, faithfully tending his land throughout his life. He also volunteered delivering meals for the Lincoln Senior Center, always looking for ways to give back to the community he loved.
He was preceded in death by his parents; two sons, Michael Cox and Leonard Cox; two brothers, Alfred Cox and Theron Cox; and a nephew, Keith Cox.
Hermon is survived by his loving wife of 68 years, Juanita McClain Cox; one son, Stephen Cox and his wife Mary; one daughter-in-law, Geraldine Cox; four grandchildren, Carrie McBane and husband Tommy, Kimberly Holt and husband Tim, Aaron Cox and wife Melissa, and Brittney Sanford and husband Kyle; eleven great-grandchildren, Dakotah, Draven, and Kaydance Glisson, Ayden, Gavyn, and Trevyn Holt, Harrison Cox, Noah Atha, Brenna, Mercy, and Hannah Sanford; and two nephews, Kent Cox and wife Carla, and Kevin Cox and wife Joey.
Hermon will be remembered for his strong faith, his love for family, and his steadfast commitment to serving others. His legacy lives on in all who knew and loved him.

Margaret Knox Austin - Friend
Hermon was a best friend in my time at Burger Land. On slow days we’d stand around and wait to see his truck pull in and whoever seen him first would say “There’s Hermon!” He always had the warmest hugs and a listening ear whenever you needed it. He had a laugh that would clear the restaurant and was loved by many. Sending love and support to the family and “grandma” Miss Juanita ??
Kristianna Dersam - Burger Land
Hermon was one of about seven tru friends that I had the privilege to know in my 90 years. I had a lot of acuaintences but a true friend is something a whole lot different. You will be missed.

Hermon was a very dedicated man of God who taught our Sunday School Class at Calvary, Summers for the past few years. He very rarely missed a service. He enjoyed teaching and sharing his wisdom of the Bible. He always had a smile on his face, hugs to pass around, made us laugh at his jokes and a genuine friend to all. Heaven gained a true gem! Christians do not say goodbye, so we will see you again dear friend and we will be missing you terribly in the meantime. We thank God for all the blessings you brought to our church and to our lives.

Oh Mama Juanita! We are so sorry about Uncle Herman.....We are so sad. When He and Billy would get together, the trucking stories would start! I loved him for his faith in God, his knowledge of The Word and his smile. We sure will miss that man. Prayers for all of his family and friends....we will be so lonesome for him.
Dianna and Billy Payne - friends
Herman was such a dedicated man of God . Always enjoyed seeing him at the Reese Cemetery decoration .
It seemed he was always doing for others . To his family he will be missed . But if he could tell us one thing it would be his race is over . For that I am happy for him .
