Gary John Fox, of Hartselle, Alabama, passed away peacefully on May 22, 2025. Born October 15, 1952, in Huntsville, Alabama, Gary was known for his boisterous personality, his ability to light up any room, and his deep love for others.

He is survived by his loving wife, Darlene Fox; children, Stewart Fox, Skyler Fox, Theresa Taylor, and Jimmy Singleton; grandchildren, Rylie, Cohen, John Gavin, Isabella, Kassidy, Evey, Baylie, Brylie, and Mac; his brother, Richard Fox; niece,s Alicia and Jessica; and nephews, Adam and Phillip.
