Cary Mac Fewox Jr.

With our deepest sorrow, we announce that Cary Mac Fewox Jr., 57, our most beloved son, brother, family member and friend, passed away on January 9, 2021.

A 1982 Plant City High School graduate, he later went on to trade school in Lakeland, Florida where he received a diploma in mechanical engineering and repairs. 

An avid outdoorsman, he loved to fish and hunt; a love he shared with his father Mac Sr.

Those who knew Mac, even just a little, will remember his big heart, warm smile, and his ability to make you laugh.

Mac will be missed every day by his father, Cary Mac Fewox Sr., his mother, Carole, his brothers Jimmy and Joshua, his biological mother, Joyce Wagoner, his loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and many great friends. 

A private service will be held at a later date.
