Mattox was diagnosed with bone cancer in his leg during his freshman year at St. Joe and after a two year fight against the disease, Mattox passed away early in the morning last Monday. Students, staff, teammates, classmates and community members attended his memorial service wearing purple to signify their support for Mattox.
