Carl Fox

Carl Lee Fox, 75 of Springfield, Missouri, passed away in his home Friday, May 21, 2021.

He was born December 20, 1945 in Christian County to Leslie and Gracephine (Little) Fox. He went to school in Strafford, Missouri.

Carl was an over the road truck driver for most of his life and worked at Wayne Choate's Trucking for many years. He loved his scratch off tickets and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and dirt track races.

He was preceded in death by his parents Leslie and Gracephine Fox; sisters, Marie Underwood, Eileen Schultz, and Norma Jean; brothers, William Fox (Bill), Danny Fox, and Jim Fox; first wife, Millie Phillips.

He is survived by his brother, Frank Fox; sister, Nancy Wallace; second wife, Linda Davis; daughters, Carla Marie Little-Nelson, Kimberly Lynn Adams, and Theraca Corakay Robison; sons, Doug Fox, Richard Lee Fox, Ronnie Lee Fox, Billy Dewayne Fox; grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Carl Fox had a big heart. Most of the time it was hidden behind a rough, impatient demeanor, but his intentions were well-meant. He had a love for his kids and grandkids that was immeasurable, and many will miss him greatly. There will be a day when we'll hear his wild stories, his teasing, and hardy laugh again but until then: We think about you always, we talk about you still, you have never been forgotten, and you never will. We hold you close within our hearts, and there you will remain, to walk and guide us through our lives until we meet again.

A Memorial Gathering will be held at 4:00pm on Saturday, June 5th, 2021 at Smith Park, 1536 W. Division Street in Springfield, Missouri 65803. All are welcomed to attend.

Arrangements are under the care and direction of Herman H. Lohmeyer Funeral Home, 500 E. Walnut Street, in Springfield, Missouri.
