Ended up here after searching for an old story Calvin once told me about his life. I miss him so much. I never knew what to write about my experiences with him once he passed. I didn't want anything to feel cheapened in my attempts to describe what he was to me. Calvin is my best example of anyone I know who lived being everything he could be, experiencing so much of what life has to offer. The fact that he was taken from us so early really put a lot of things in perspective for me. I love Calvin so much. It hurts so bad to reflect, sometimes, but he was one of the best friends I've ever had, and one of the best men I've ever known. Someone else here mentioned how he, without fail, would always answer "Living the dream" when you asked him how he was doing, even during his battle with cancer. Calvin's my inspiration to live my best life now. I feel he is still looking out for me (and all of us) in spirit. He was so good to so many. Love you so much, brother.

Calvin was a kind, caring awesome guy. I will always remember his smiling face and his caring heart. I met Calvin many years ago at Shiloh UMC. I served as VBS & Children’s group director when Calvin was growing up. He was always willing to take a part in the Christmas play, attend VBS and participate in all of the activities, he attended Sunday school, and he loved the church and God. Like I said, Calvin was a great guy. Prayers of sympathy and condolences to all of his precious family and friends.

So sorry to hear of the Families loss. Calvin’s Dad Ronnie was my first cousin on the Cox side and I have tried to stay in touch with each of them which is hard to do because everyone has their own lives to live but this saddens me so because Calvin was so young and had a lot more to do on this earth but God had a different plan for him. Sending you all hugs, love and many prayers .

Calvin was our grandson by marriage. We are very sorry, we did not get to see a whole lot of him, due to the geographical distance between us, but got to know him a little bit too. Calvin always had a twinkle in his eye, was calm and very courteous and also helpful, especially when he did "KP duty" with Spike. He was a problem solver par excellence. To mind come the red coat rack and the two blue glasses which were stuck together and he managed to separate with help of a rubber band. He loved the wonderful food at Tio Pepe.
He had a calming influence and was very pleasant to have around. We miss him.

I had the honor to work with Calvin at Shapiro. There is not one person who compares to him. He was the most selfless empathetic person I have ever met. He always stayed positive. Every morning he would ask how I was doing, and in return I would ask and his answer never waivered. "living the dream" I shared with my co workers about my father's battle with a rare bone marrow disease and Calvin was the first to send me encouragement and shared his story with me about his niece who also had a bone marrow disease. He was such a light and positive person. Heaven really gained the best of the best. I am continually praying for the family and friends. <3
this picture was after a lunch we had together. I was a week or 2 in at Shapiro and one of my co workers had gotten a flat tire in the city. It was cold and it started to snow while we were out there. Calvin jumped right in to change that tire, on a tight city side street. What a day that was lol

Calvin was the best son in law a
Mother could wish for. I feel blessed to have had him in our lives. Words can’t express the loss we feel right now….

I am truly saddened to hear the news of his passing my condolences to his wife and his family. He will truly be missed. Calvin and his family were wonderful to me growing up and he was a close friend of mine growing up. God has another wonderful angel help looking over us. Thank you Calvin for the memories you will be missed.
