My heart breaks. Again another senseless, cruel, untimely death of a hero. God Bless the family of Officer Cox, the men and women of King County who serve and protect. Your job is thankless yet you serve your fellow man. God Bless all our heros in the US in uniform. God's face is shining on Officer Cox and may his strength support his family & his community.

Steve Cox is a hero. Steve is a hero because he took on a job that may will not; Steve is a hero because he put his heart and soul into his community- through his job and in private; Steve is a hero because he inspired Law Enforcement, Businesses, Community Members, and countless others who will attempt to follow in his footsteps.
Steve, we are all better having known and worked with you.

A couple of the young neighborhood boys came by my house this past Sunday, all wide-eyed with the "news". The upshot of their feelings expressed, however, were that Officer Steve Cox was a TOUGH GOOD GUY. I am new to Seattle and the neighborhood Officer Cox so vigilantly protected. But I very quickly came to know that he was "THE MODEL" of what police officers can and should be. In addition to his mission of aggressive policing (much needed in this community) he went out of his way to truly connect with the residents - both on and off the job. Hopefully those kids will remember this "tough and good" example when, in a few short years, they have to make their own serious life choices as young men in this community. Words simply can't express what a huge blow this is to all of us.

I knew Steve via his actions in White Center. I moved from the area 2 years ago, but his presence was still near me as I still had contacts in WC. It saddens me to think about this. WC was full of drugs and other crimes and Steve was just doing his job and trying to make it a better place to live. I hope everyone will continue his legacy. He deserved better. He was a likeable guy. He kept track of the people he saw on the streets. He knew what they would be doing. They knew he knew. And there was still mutual respect between most of them. Everyone was just doing what they needed to do and if the law came between them, so be it. All of my prays to his family. He will not be forgotten.

I got the call from a friend on the mainland, "KCSO has suffered another great loss." Words can't express the feeling that the loss of such an outstanding Deputy and person brings. Rest in peace brother.

I met Steve several years ago when I was down in Washington for several appointments for my cancer treatment. I had asked in advance to do a ride-along and Steve was my first officer. We actually had a pretty boring shift which gave us time to talk and have lunch at a community storefront office (house). We talk about the job, our families, and stuff. The night went so slow that at the end of the shift, Steve asked if I wanted to keep going. I said sure and he arranged another ride for me. So we met up with another deputy and I did the night shift with him, complete with a prisoner transfer from the island to the jail, a high speed response for an officer needs help call, and a late meal with a few other deputies (one had applied to Durango, CO).

You were quite the officer, Steve, leading by example. Thanks for the talk introducing me to the world of the KCSO, and hooking up the second ride for me. I'll miss you. Your family and the KCSO are in our thoughts and prayers for comfort, peace, and healing.

Rest easy my friend, we've got it from here.

My condolences go out to Deputy Cox's family,friends and colleagues. From the news stories I've seen he was quite a deputy, and quite a man. I never knew the man,but he sounds like a one of a kind person. One who cannot be replaced. I wish everybody who knew Deputy Cox the best as they go through this tough time. May you rest in peace Deputy Cox, your work here is done.
