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.”
