John Henry Knox, Jr., 65, was born to the late John Henry and Leathia Ritter Knox, Sr. in Forsyth County, North Carolina on January 21, 1960. He exchanged time for eternal rest on April 27, 2025.

John received his formal education from the local Winston-Salem Forsyth County Public Schools. Upon completion of his formal education, he would later go on to further his education, obtaining his associate's degree. Mr. Knox was a man of talents and was employed with Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center, Behavioral Health Department as a Safety Attendant. In John's leisure time, he enjoyed talking, eating, collecting various antique cars and he surely loved to go shopping for antiques. John had a special way of addressing his baby sister, Angela, as "Sistah," which will live on within our hearts.

There will definitely be a void in our family. He will be remembered for his caring ways, his smile and the way he treated others. There was nothing fake when he cared for you, you were cared for! Family was important to him; he cared deeply for his family. He possessed a strong work ethic. If you were supposed to go to work, he would say, "Go to Work."

John was preceded in death by his parents; three maternal aunts; one paternal aunt; three maternal uncles and four paternal uncles.

Left to cherish his memories are his son, John Knox, III; four siblings: Malcolm G. Knox (Tracy), Angela Hinson Samuels (James), Robin L. Knox (Cheryl), Jonathan G. Knox (Janeia); his devoted fiancé, Regina Galloway; two grandchildren; one great grandchild; stepmother, Annie M. Knox; aunt, Lizzie Ann Anthony; Ms. Regina's children, who each held a place in his heart: Maurice Galloway, Joshua Frazier, Brittany Frazier, Justin Frazier, Samuel Frazier, Daija Leaks, Christian Leaks, Isaiah Leaks, Kristy Leaks, Aaliyah Leaks and her eight grandchildren: Blessyn Frazier, Julian Frazier, Egypt Frazier, Na'Shawn Frazier, Julius Frazier, Giovanni Leaks, Truce Leaks and O'Shyn Johnson and a host of nieces, nephews, other family and friends.
