Help Support The Knox Family For The Tragic Loss Of Kristy

In Loving Memory Of Kristy Knox

Help Us Honor The Life Of Our Sweet Kristy Knox and Raise Mental Health Awareness

It is with broken hearts that we share the devastating news of the loss of our beloved Kristy Knox, who passed away at the Aqueduct in Hesperia. Her passing was sudden and tragic, and our family is still trying to process the deep pain and grief that now surrounds us.

Kristy was a beautiful soul — loving, bright, creative, and full of potential. But behind her warm smile, she struggled silently with mental health challenges that too often go unnoticed or untreated. Like so many young people, she battled feelings of sadness and anxiety, doing her best to cope in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Mental health is real. It does not discriminate, and it does not always show. We share her story not only to honor her memory, but to bring light to the importance of mental health awareness and access to care. We pray that her life, and now her loss, will open the door for other families to talk more openly, seek help sooner, and support one another more deeply.

We are asking for your help during this incredibly difficult time. Your donations will go toward funeral costs, memorial services, and mental health outreach efforts in her name. We want her legacy to be one that sparks healing and understanding for others who are struggling.

Please keep our family in your prayers, and if you’re able to contribute, we are truly grateful. Even if you cannot give financially, we ask that you help us spread this message: Check in on your loved ones. Listen without judgment. Mental health matters.

Thank you for your compassion, your support, and your love.

— The Family of Kristy Knox
