Mr. Cox was born the son of Johnny Lorenza Cox and Mettie Godwin Cox on July 7, 1937 in Williamsburg County.
On April 5, 1959, Wayne married the love of his life, Harriett, and they shared 60 wonderful years together.
He was a retired employee with Oneita Knitting Mills and Newton’s General Store. He was also a TNI Vocational Education Instructor with Andrews High School for 15 years. In order to receive his certification as an instructor, Mr. Cox had to attend both the University of South Carolina and Clemson University.

He was a member of the SC Jaycees Palmetto Corps - Andrews Jaycees. Because of his love for fishing and woodworking, Mr. Cox designed his own business, "Paddles by Wayne". He was a faithful member of the Andrews First Pentecostal Holiness Church where he served over the years as President of the Men’s Fellowship, choir member, and on the food committee to help raise money for the new building fund.
