A Taunton native has reportedly died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash that took place late last week.
According to friends and family, 58-year-old Ralph Cox, now of Melbourne, died Friday after the Florida crash.
A GoFundMe fundraiser created by his daughter states that Cox loved his motorcycle. “He was the person who would always step in to help whenever someone needed him. Whether you needed a shoulder to cry on, someone to talk to, or a mechanic to help fix something, my dad was always there. He had a heart that made him someone people could count on, and he never hesitated to lend a helping hand.”
Friends say that during the major flooding in the area earlier this month, Cox was offering rides to flood victims in his neighborhood. Many expressed how great a guy he was and that he was a super sweet human being.
The fundraiser contributions will reportedly go toward helping Cox’s wife Gail with expenses during this time and providing a meaningful celebration of life.
Services have not yet been announced.
