Knox was active in the Crossway Church in Cooper City and was loved by many.

Pastor Jon Elswick spoke of the tragic loss, saying, “I think when you have a tragedy like this, and someone as loved as Knox, there’s ripple effects all the way through our church community, so we have students that were friends with him, family members that are friends with his family, so it’s been a really difficult time.”

He continued:  “Knox’s dad said to me a couple of days ago, that Knox was the best of us, and I love that phrase because if you knew Knox, that’s who he was, right, this is a teenager who when you think about him, you think of a loving kid, a caring kid, a funny kid.”

We are so very sorry for the loss of such a young life. May he rest in peace.
