💔 A Family’s Heartbreaking Loss
Firefighter Samuel Skelton was holding his 22-month-old son, Knox, outside a shopping center in Gainesville, Georgia, when an SUV reportedly jumped a curb and struck them both.
Knox was rushed to a children’s hospital in Atlanta, but despite the efforts of first responders and doctors, the little boy tragically died from his injuries. He would have celebrated his second birthday in just a few months. 🕊️
Now, Samuel and his wife, Kiana, are facing an unimaginable loss. Even more heartbreaking, some of the first responders who responded to the crash were Samuel’s fellow firefighters.
Their department and colleagues are rallying around the grieving family, offering support as they navigate this devastating time.
Please keep Samuel, Kiana, little Knox’s loved ones, and the first responders affected by this tragedy in your prayers. ❤️
Rest peacefully, sweet Knox. You were loved beyond measure.
