Knox and Claudette lived across Elliott street in Fort Mill when we were kids growing up. We played marbles,softball and battleship. He was a good friend and the last time I saw him was at Mom's funeral and was still the same old Knox!! RIP my friend !

Knox was a fine Christian gentleman. He facilitated a class at First Baptist Clover called "Share Jesus without Fear" about 10 years ago. It was just a blessing! Knox was a hero to many friends & family. Mya was his special little angel, for sure! Knox, my friend, we'll see you in heaven one day.
