How to honor Staff Sgt. Ryan Knauss
You’re welcome to stop by to write a message for Ryan Knauss’s family.
CORRYTON, Tenn. (WVLT) - You’re welcome to stop by to write a message for Ryan Knauss’s family at a memorial that has been set up to honor the Knoxville soldier.
The Gibbs High School graduate was a 23 year-old Army Staff Sergeant who died in Afghanistan last week.
There’s a memorial at the corner of Emory Road and Tazewell Pike in front of the Weigel’s.
You can thank him or share kind words on the back of the poster. Feel free to leave an American flag, flowers or flameless candles.
Zackery Perkins, 10, and his family and friends had a message for the Knauss family.
His grandparents said “they hope to see Ryan again in Heaven.”
”I know it’s tough. God bless you,” said Perkins.
There’s also a card box for people to drop notes to his family. It is emptied daily and delivered to them.
The memorial will be up for a couple weeks. If you stop by, be sure to bring a black permanent marker.
