It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dean Cox, a much-loved husband, father and friend, who departed this life on Dec. 2, 2024, in Boerne, Texas.

Born Dec. 30, 1943, in Belton, Texas, Dean lived a life that was marked by dedication, kindness and an unwavering commitment to his family, friends and profession. Dean was a proud agency owner in the insurance industry, where he built a successful career characterized by integrity and trust.

As a leader in the comprehensive insurance and surety construction bonding industry, Dean serviced many highly respected companies throughout the state of Texas for decades. His passion for helping others extended beyond his profession; he was a mentor to many and a pillar of strength in his community.

Outside of his profession, Dean spent time with his family and friends golfing, hunting and fishing all across Texas, Mexico, Colorado and New Mexico. Dean also enjoyed spending leisure time entertaining others by singing and playing his guitar.

Dean is remembered by many who he coached for years in Little League Baseball and mentored in life and career decisions. He spent much of his time as a member and productive asset to multiple fraternal organizations such as Masonic Lodge and The Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Dean is survived by his beloved wife, Betty Cox; his sister, Jackie; three sons, Clois (Susan), Vance (Lori) and Brian (Melanie); one stepson, Cliff; 11 grandchildren, Christi, Kelly, Dalton, Elle, Travis, Cade, Colton, Kaci, Hailee, Randi and Stefani; and multiple great-grandchildren.

Dean was preceded in death by his mother and father, Drunell and Walter; his siblings Betty, Doris and Jim; and stepdaughter Staci.

His legacy will endure in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. In reverence of his life, a Celebration of Life will be held 2-4 p.m. Dec. 12, 2024, at The Prescott Ranch, 4664 Rocky Road in Blanco, Texas, where friends and family will gather to celebrate Dean’s remarkable journey.

The ceremony will reflect his spirit and contributions, providing all who attend an opportunity to honor his memory and share in the love he freely gave to those around him. Dean Cox touched many lives, and though he is no longer with us, his spirit will continue to inspire.

Those who wish to express their condolences may do so in kind remembrance of a man who lived a life full of love, laughter and dedication. May he rest in peace.
