In loving memory of
Roxli Sloan Doss
August 29, 2007 - April 9, 2020
Roxli Sloan Doss, 12, of Kyle, Texas, passed away at home on April 9, 2020. Roxli was born on August 29, 2007, in Austin, Texas, to Scott and Gena Doss. She was a lifelong resident of Kyle.
Roxli attended Negley Elementary and Barton Middle School. She was an avid learner, a congenial student, and well-liked by both teachers and students. She was often the fastest girl at Negley on track and field days. She enjoyed horseback riding, running, crafting, hunting, swimming, reading, spa days, the racetrack, and sunny days at the beach. Roxli loved playing with her siblings and friends. Roxli's infectious smile, positive attitude, incredible sense of humor, and kind, gentle spirit impacted and will be a cherished memory for all.
Roxli faced DIPG with fearless resilience and an abundant faith in Christ that never wavered. She was an inspiration to her family and to all those around her.
Roxli is survived by her parents, Scott and Gena Doss, brother, Rhett, and sister, Reef, all of Kyle; grandparents James and Denice Doss of Rockdale, Gene Layne of Henderson, and Sandy and Ronnie Strong of Henderson; great-grandmother Mary Hertless of Granger and a host of family and friends. She is preceded in death by her great grandparents Jimmy and Jeffy Doss of Rockdale, Richard Hertless of Granger, Aubrey and Faye Layne of Henderson, and Clyde and Helen Still of Jefferson.
A celebration of life will be held at a time to be determined with Pastor Shawn Cooper of Vertical Chapel.
The family ask that memorials be made to the Austin/Round Rock chapter of The Cure Starts Now. https://thecurestartsnow.org/get-involved/chapters/texas-austinround-rock/donate/
The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the organizers, sponsors and volunteers of Roxli's Rockstar benefit in the Kyle/Buda and Rockdale communities, the Kershner Trading family, the Davenport family and people of Bremond, the entire Kyle/Buda community, Roxli's many kind, compassionate caregivers, and finally, our tribe.

"Roxli was an amazing friend. She always put others before herself. She has inspired me more than anyone else. My goal in life is to be as loving as Rox. I enjoyed every moment with her. She was the cutest thing ever!! I absolutely loved swimming, riding horses, and playing with her. We loved riding horses in the pond at the barn. We always had a blast at horse camp together. Roxli and the Doss family will forever be in my prayers. I Trust in His plan. I am very confident that my mom and Roxli are singing and dancing together in Heaven. I will forever miss them! "

Roxli liked my wings, so I would cook them anytime she wanted em. But then Scott seemed to like them a lot too. :) I am personally blessed that the entire Doss family accepted me and treated me as one of their own. Thats just how they roll...They are a wonderful family.! And we love them all. Roxli will be missed. But never forgotten. Roxli, Tell Jesus hi for me. "

"I show promise of fruitful afterlife in Bible: (Rev. 22:1-2) And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (Isaiah 35:5-6) Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. That\'s means people and animals are free of diseases (mental, physical, and spiritual) and live forever as children and blind child will see, deaf child will hear, physically disabled child will walk and run free, non-verbal child will talk and speak in perfect voice! You are cute girl who died early tragically. I hope that I marry you in afterlife!"
