Roy Cox Death, Local Bodybuilding Legend Roy Cox Passes Away
The local fitness community is mourning the loss of a true icon, Roy Cox, whose recent passing has left a profound void. Remembered not just for his impressive physique, but for his immense heart, Roy was a cornerstone of the bodybuilding scene for decades.
To many young gym rats in the 1980s, Roy was more than a legend; he was a great mentor and a great dude. He generously shared his knowledge and passion, shaping the journeys of countless individuals who stepped into his hardcore gym. That gym, a sanctum of iron and sweat, was tellingly located above his own business, a testament to his life’s twin devotions.
That business was a familiar downtown landmark: first known as Trilby’s, and later as Sugar Cubes. For years, it served as the street-level anchor to the temple of strength above. Roy’s presence linked the two spaces, creating a unique hub where community was built over both protein shakes and casual conversation.
Roy Cox’s legacy is one of raw dedication and genuine camaraderie. He built more than muscle; he built up the people around him. While the clang of weights from above Sugar Cubes may have faded years ago, the impact of this local legend on his protégés and peers will resonate forever. He will be deeply missed.
