A longtime car aficionado, Knox dreamt of starting a museum to detail Houston’s police vehicles throughout the decades.
That same color of custom blue now graces a single stripe on Houston PD’s new Airbus H125 helicopter as a poignant tribute. Officer Knox’s end of watch with Houston PD tragically occurred in an accident on May 2, 2020. He was 35 years old.
