John Ellis Lox Jr, 77, of Canton, Missouri, passed away at his home in Clark County on December 14, 2021.
John was born in Burlington, Iowa, on June 21, 1944, to John Ellis Sr. and Marjory Lox (Finley). John lived a full life. He was an electrician by trade, working many different locations throughout his years with BNSF.

In his younger years he enjoyed training and riding horses. Most of all, John loved every moment spent with his children and grandchildren, of which he was extremely proud. His best friend until the end was his Great Dane, Dexter.
