HOUSTON – Family members, friends and fellow officers paid their respect to Houston Police Officer Jason Knox during a visitation service on Friday.
The tactical flight officer died after a helicopter crash last weekend.

“He was just a really loving guy; giving, generous, law-abiding and just an amazing person who would be there for anybody," Victoria Lewis, a cousin of Knox’s wife, said.
“A tremendous loss to the community. I think it means we’ve all got to step up and do more and be what Jason would have us be," said Barbara Hadley, a family friend
