Douglas E. Cox

Douglas Eric Cox, Age 60, formerly of New Brighton passed into God’s hands Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 5:24 p.m. at the Beaver Medical Center surrounded by his loved ones.

He was preceded in death by his late father Donald E. Cox, and his nephew Jeremee Vukich.

He is survived by his mother, Pamela (Robbins) Cox, sister, Christene Cox (Cory Souffrant), and their son Parker Souffrant; sister, Donna Cox; and her daughters, Jessica Toliver and R’eonna (Hope) Valentine. Doug was also a proud great uncle of Ka’Leah, Caleb, Noah, and Ariya.

A graduate of New Brighton Area High School, Doug spent his days doing what he loved the most. Spending time with his family and providing excellent care and companionship to his mother. Doug truly lit up a room with his excellent sense of humor. Doug was a huge supporter of his Pittsburgh Sports teams and always cheered loud and proud for all to hear. As a self-proclaimed sports critic, he loved his Pittsburgh Teams, and he rarely missed any games. If a game wasn’t on, you could often find Doug exploring in the kitchen, showing off his cooking skills by feeding those he loved, singing and dancing to his bubble machine or rocking out in the car to Kiss. There was never a dull moment with Doug by your side. His hidden talent was being able to carry a tune to any song and any genre.

Doug will be missed tremendously. He truly holds a wonderful place in all of our hearts. We know he would want us to continue to keep him by our sides, carrying him in an abundance of memories.

One final message we know he would pass along- LETS GO PENS!!!!

A memorial visitation will be held Friday, December 19, 2025, from 6 p.m. until time of service at 7:30 p.m. in J&J Spratt Funeral Home, 1612 Third Ave, New Brighton.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in his name to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, P.O. Box 1999, Memphis, TN 38101.
