Early Life
Andy Fox was born on August 11, 1920 in Tampa to restaurant worker Venus Fox (1883-1964) and World War I Marine veteran Elon Fox (1856-1928). He had a big sister, Jasmin (1915-) and a Welsh corgi, Butkus.

Fox was inspired to play football when he discovered that he was born in the year the NFL was created. He tried out for his middle school football team, but he didn't make the cut. Feeling the need to get stronger, he joined the weightlifting club, becoming its vice-president at age 13. He successfully joined his high school football team, becoming captain during his junior/senior year.

In 1938, Fox accepted a full athletic football scholarship from Tampa University. He also studied philosophy.

Death
Fox died of natural causes on July 25, 2021, aged 100. He is survived by his six children and eight grandchildren.
