The Ragland community is mourning the devastating and untimely loss of Jagger Cox, a beloved young man and respected student-athlete who tragically passed away in a recent car accident. Jagger’s passing has left a deep void in the hearts of his family, friends, teammates, coaches, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His loss is felt profoundly across Ragland High School, the Purple Devils athletic program, and the entire community that supported and admired him.

Jagger was known not only for his athletic talent, but also for his character, determination, and joyful spirit.

His energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to his team made him an essential part of Ragland’s athletic family.

Beyond his accomplishments in sports, Jagger touched the lives of many through his kindness, humility, and genuine personality. He had a remarkable ability to bring people together, offering encouragement, friendship, and a sense of unity wherever he went. His positive influence extended beyond athletics—reaching classmates, teachers, and community members who admired his consistent work ethic and respectful nature. Jagger was the kind of young man whose smile, spirit, and determination left a lasting impression.

As Ragland High School reflects on this heartbreaking loss, the outpouring of love and support from the community stands as a testament to Jagger’s impact. The program he represented so proudly shared its grief, expressing that a huge loss has been felt not only within the team but throughout Ragland itself. Their words—“We will miss him greatly” and “When we walk with Jesus, our walk doesn’t end here”—offer comfort and a reminder of the faith and strength that Jagger carried with him during his life.

During this profoundly difficult time, we extend our deepest condolences to Jagger’s family. May they find comfort in the love surrounding them and in the cherished memories of a remarkable young man taken far too soon. Jagger’s legacy—his passion, resilience, faith, and heart—will continue to live on in the community he loved and in all those who will forever remember him.
