Live Like Knox
This is Knox, Our Knoxy Bear
Knox Dydalewicz embraced life with a love for adventure. In 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.
Knoxy Bear was Knox’s nickname from the day he was born. To this day, all his friends and family refer to him as Knoxy Bear. When Knox left this earth, he left a profound void behind, yet his legacy of kindness continues to inspire our community.
His daily acts of kindness, both big and small, ensure he will never be forgotten.
Knox had a deep love for his friends, always striving to include everyone in every adventure or activity, ensuring no one felt left out. He valued friendship above all else, standing out as a great student in his school by setting an example of empathy and inclusivity.
If you would like to donate to The Live Like Knox Foundation Inc., we would be deeply honored and grateful for your support in keeping Knoxy’s legacy of kindness alive.
You can help carry on kindness — just like Knoxy did.
