Bill Cox tragically lost his life on September 6, succumbing to massive injuries suffered when he was struck by a SUV driver at 14th and Noe streets in San Francisco.
Born in Moscow, Idaho, and raised in Spokane, Washington, Bill moved to the Bay Area in the early 1980s. He worked for Wells Fargo and the California Appellate Project, and was an artist. Bill was a member of he Episcopal Church of St. Giles, Moraga, and attended the Episcopal Church of St. John the Evangelist, San Francisco, after moving to the city two and a half years ago.
Bill is survived by two brothers, Clyde and Darrel Cox, both of Hawaii, their families, and many cousins. He is deeply missed by a close circle of friends in San Francisco, his fellow parishioners, and many acquaintances in the South of Market and Castro districts' LGBT communities.
A Requiem Eucharist celebrating Bill's life will be held on Saturday, October 8, at 2:30 p.m. at the Episcopal Church of St. John the Evangelist, 1661 15th Street (at Julian Avenue), San Francisco. All are welcome to attend. Donations to favorite charities and personal involvement in community advocacy for pedestrian safety are suggested as memorial tributes.
