January 4, 2024
Thomas Harwood Eubank Jr. of Murrells Inlet died Dec. 24 at McLeod Hospice House in Florence. He was 81.
He was born Oct. 16, 1942, in Richmond, Va., the son of Thomas Harwood Eubank and Louise Ozment Eubank.
Mr. Eubank started Southern Steel Products with three other partners in 1991 and ran it until 2016, when he started Southern Building Products, which he still owned and operated. He enjoyed spending time traveling and hanging out with his family and friends.
“I think he only did business because he loved the relationships he was able to maintain,” a friend and business associate recalled. “I know he loved success, but I think he loved the journey even more than the result.”
He also said that Mr. Eubank helped others along their journeys.
He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Dixie Cox Eubank; his son, Thomas H. Eubank III (Martha) of Memphis, Tenn.; his daughter, Brooke Elizabeth Eubank Anderson (Dan) of Nashville; his brother, Robert Eugene Eubank of Murrells Inlet; his grandchildren, Thomas, Louise, William, Mitchell and Hill; his brother-in-law, Herald Cox (Lynn) of Linville, N.C.; his sisters-in law, Rhonda M. Cox of James Island and Trudy Cox Smith of Murrells Inlet; his nephews, Colton, Justin and Riley; his nieces, Alicia, Cassie and Kristen; and his godson, E.J. “Miles” Servant IV.
Another brother-in-law, Steve Monroe Cox, died before him.
