Billy Keith Cox, 64, of Conover, NC, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 22nd, 2021, surrounded by his loved ones.
Known by his closest friends and family as SHAG, he was born in Robeson County and was a proud member of the Orrum High Raiders.

An avid sports fan, especially Wolf Pack basketball, was a coach and mentor for many young men in both the YMCA and church basketball leagues, leading his teams to numerous championships. He loved to travel worldwide and enjoyed experiencing life laughing with his family and friends.
He had an incredible personality that was bigger-than-life and inspired those he loved to reach for the stars.
He was a gift to all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

You will always be our dad, brother, uncle, love, and friend.
