In an emotional post, where she announced the news, Knox’s sister, Briana, reflected on the love and memories they shared. She paid tribute to Alison as the wisest and most loving partner to Knox, someone who quickly felt like family.
“She instantly felt like a sister and I will always cherish the talks we had about the afterlife and the meaning of life over coffee when we spent time together in Lake Winnipesaukee,” penned Briana.
Knox’s sister spoke fondly of Felix and Lucas, calling them the, “brightest, magical, funniest little souls you could ever imagine.” She expressed the sorrow of not being able to fully embrace her role as their aunt.
Briana also honored her brother’s legacy, promising to carry forward the values he held dear. “Knox, I love you so much. You taught me how to love fiercely, and wholly and I don’t know how I am going to do life without you,” she added.
She celebrated Knox’s fierce love, his advocacy for the environment and bees, and his unwavering commitment to his friends and family. The pain of his absence is indescribable, but she vowed to continue embodying the qualities he lived by, including his forgiving and genuine spirit.
Briana extended her thoughts to the father of Alison’s children, Lance Wisely, and his partner, Sarah, as well as her parents, Kathy and Bruce, and brother, Hayden. She asked for prayers and support for them as they grieve this tremendous loss.
In her message, she expressed immense gratitude to the volunteers, emergency workers, and community members who have come together during this difficult time. She asked for privacy and time for the family to grieve as they navigate through the pain of their loss.
Lance also wrote a touching message, expressing the immense love and pride he felt for his sons. He shared, “The boys were loved fiercely and generously by all of their grown ups, and by you, even many of you who never met them have watched them grow up and shared in our joys as a family.”
The dad also described his sons as adventurous, artistic, and full of joy and snuggles. “It has been my great honor and pleasure, and exhausting privilege, to be their father for their time in this world with us,” he wrote.
Lance spoke highly of Knox, who embraced Felix and Lucas as his own, always showing them love and care. He also paid tribute to Alison, calling her brilliant, charming, and a devoted mother. Their cooperative co-parenting relationship was one that Lance deeply valued, as they shared the joys of raising their children.
Lance acknowledged the deep sense of loss that has touched so many. The family’s passing has left a void, and the outpouring of love and support serves as a testament to the impact they had on those around them.
