In Loving Memory of Anthony Cox (Koby Falks)

👼September 1985 - May 2025👼

It is with deep sadness that we announce the tragic passing of Anthony Cox, known to many as Koby Falks, on May 28, 2025. Anthony was a beloved content creator, known for his warmth, charisma, and professionalism. He was 42 years old.

I shared some formative years in Sydney with him, and he was unfailingly sweet and kind. Heaven has gained an angel; may he rest in peace 🌟

Anthony, or Koby, (or Fonda to his Sydney friends), was a light to many, connecting with people not just in Australia but across the world.

Anthony's legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. May the colours of the rainbow remind us of the love and light he shared, and the promise of a reunion in a better place. May the Rainbow Christ embrace you and bring comfort to your family and friends 💖

A Poem for Anthony 🌈

Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.

Angel wings, upon the clouds,
Your body softly sleeps,
Hush now little angel,
No more tears you have to weep.

Little prayers are sent to you,
The short life you led;
Your family will never forget you,
So rest your little head.

I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.

You're beautiful, you're endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
You're loved by so many,
It will never be goodbye.

Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears, just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
We know you did your best.

The Rainbow Christ in Anthony
