Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Rene Knox Jr.
US Army Sergeant.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Psalm 23
1
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3
He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
This is a verse that I have found to be comforting to me during my husbands death. Remember that when it seems that no one else is round, God is still there with you! And he will be your rock!
My daughter,McKaLyne, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for your loss! God Bless this warrior, God Bless those whom serve freedom's cause! They are our true HERO's!!!!

To the Knox Family. It's a very hard thing to accept when someone tells you that your friend and brother is gone. I only knew Sgt. Knox for just a little while, but I knew him long enough to know that he was(and still is) a true friend and a true brother in Christ! My family and I send you all of the prayers that heaven can hold upon you and your family!! Trust in the Lord for he is your salvation and He will carry you through!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

Dear family of Rene Knox,
Today I participated in an interfaith memorial service for those who have died in Iraq. Rene was the name of the person whose marker I carried. It was a very moving and sad experience for me. The gray and rainy day seemed to echo the deep sadness that all present felt. I felt very close to Rene and his family, none of whom I had ever met. I was moved to to try to find out more about him and send a message to his family. Please know that Rene and all of you are in my prayers.

My heart truly goes out to Simone and the family of Rene Know Jr. I met Rene as well as Simone in Korea. We were all in the same unit and I have to say if it wasn't for them I would have never been promoted. Rene and Simone used to help me study as well as helped me put together my Class A's. Rene was a true friend always willing to help. Sometimes we all watched American Idol together. He was a great person and fun to be around. He will never be forgotten. Also pray for the rest of us that are still serving in Iraq to come home safely.

SGT Knox was a very outgoing and outstanding soldier. when some one would ask him to do something he wouldnt stop until it was complete. our unit lost an NCO that could teach younger soldiers how to become an NCO. he was also a friend you could count on if you needed him. To the family and friends of SGT Rene Knox Jr. I give you my deepest sympathy and share with you a thought from my heart. Continue to be strong and trust in the Lord. He will bring joy.

Dear Rene Knox family and friends,
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. I did not personally know Rene but I knew his wife. She is a great person so I know he must have been a wonderful person too. I wish I could have paid my respects in person but I am too far away right now. I know its hard to remember the good times during your time of grief but try hard to remember his smiles and laughter. It helps to ease the pain just a little. I am just a phone call away if you need to talk. Take care.
Love,

It deeply hurt me to hear about the loss of your husband. I can only imagine what pain, greif, and sense of loss you are going through.

I wish you and your daughter the best for the future as you guys have already gone through so much. I will continue to keep you in my prayers and in my heart.
Until then...

Dear Sis.
You have my deepest sympathy. I can not say I know what you are going through but I can say that when you pain I pain. I don't understand why God would give you the fairy tale life just to end it too soon. All I knew is he does have the master plan. Rene will be missed daily and remembered always. Everytime I think of my brotha-in-law a smile comes to my face because I remember all the good times we shared.
So sis, I want you to cry, scream, shout and get mad. when you are all done. I want you to remember the bond that the two of you shared for I have never seen no picture perfect love far greater than Simone and Rene.
P.S. you still have one Renee to throw things away.
I love you always.

Eliria to God give the Glory for he will continue to be your rock and your strength. He has already shown you how he will bless you by having your husband and your son stand up and give their lives over to him. What a way to show us all that he is God and his will, will in fact be done. You guys did a fine job in raising a fine young man.

My empathy goes out to the Knox family. I feel a closeness to you, eventhough I have not met any of your formally. I live across from Mr and Mrs. Rene Knox, Sr. (Hidden Lake Apartments, 109)which makes them my neighbors. I can still remember the morning that I overheard Mrs. Knox after receiving the horrible news; and being a mother myself, all I could do was just look at my child (who was sleeping) and just start praying. But... I can imagine that Rene would have told his mother this:
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that swiftly blow.
I am the diamond glint
on newly fallen snow.
I am the sunlight
on ripened grain.
I am the soft and gentle autumn rain
When you wake from sleep in the early morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft, starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN HIS LOVING ARMS ALWAYS!

To the family of SGT Knox: I only met Sgt Knox once and it was by chance. I let him in front of me at the shopette one afternoon and we started talking and I found out that he had been at Ft. Riley before going to Korea and then coming to Fort Stewart and that my nephew SSGT Dean Rhein was his leader at Fort Riley. I enjoyed our talk so much and admired his smile and friendliness. I talked to my nephew yesterday and he was the one that identified SGT Knox as part of his soldier family. I was devestated. Dean said that Ft. Riley is so saddened by the loss of such a good soldier, a good person, and a good friend. May God wrap his arms around your family and hold you all close to his heart and ease your pain and enlighten your memories. God Bless You and Sgt Rene Knox. Patricia E.
