Kindness Carries On

This is Knox, Our Knoxy Bear
Knox Dydalewicz embraced life with a love for adventure. During his 12 short years on earth, he brought joy and kindness to all who knew him. He was passionate about life: playing basketball, collecting basketball shoes and cards, hanging out with his friends, fishing, golf, playing video games, and playing at the ocean. He showed empathy and care for others, always making his Mom, Dad, and Bobo (big brother) proud. His empathetic nature and inclusive spirit made him a beloved friend and role model.
Knox’s story isn’t over yet — read on to discover Knox’s legacy of kindness.
You can help carry on kindness — just like Knoxy did.
