Our loving father (daddy), grandpa, grandpa-great, uncle and friend, Calvin Edgar Fox, age 96, passed away January 18, 2023, with his daughter (Daddy’s little girl) holding his hand. The last special moment shared between a father and daughter.
Calvin was born on August 27, 1926, in Hebron, Illinois to Vivian Mae Peck and Ivan Fox. He married Ada Wallace the love of his life, on November 25, 1949, in South Miami, Florida. They had three sons and one daughter (born on Father’s Day) that they loved so very much.
He proudly served his country in the US Navy during World War II from 1944-1948, then served ten years in the reserves. Calvin worked for Utah Power & Light/PacifiCorp at the Carbon Power Plant and later retired from the Hunter Power Plant.
Calvin was a man that loved God and Jesus. A Christian with steadfast faith, even through all his pain and suffering he never faltered. He was very proud and full of love for his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He would brag about them every chance he got. Everyone will miss his hugs and genuine love for everyone. If you knew him you got his hugs, and he would always leave you with “God bless you, Lord be with you.” He will be extremely missed by his family and a community of friends, many that were adopted as sons or #2 daughters, he loved you.
