Knox Palmer
Our Inspiration, Our Reason, Our Why
Knox Owen Palmer was born on September 5th, 2016. He weighed 9.1 lbs. and was 20.5” long. He was a happy, healthy baby with an infectious smile and perfect laugh. He loved to eat, snuggle, suck on his hands, and take baths. On December 20th, 2016, Knox went down for a nap and never woke up. His death was ruled as SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).
He is loved and missed greatly by Mommy, Daddy and his brother and sister, Hunter & Grace. Everyone that met Knox adored him and his chubby cheeks. Although his life here with us on earth was cut short, he is now doing big things from heaven.
Mark & Elisha Palmer
Co-Founders
Mark and Elisha Palmer are the proud parents of Knox. After losing their son they wanted to do everything they could to prevent other families from feeling the pain they experienced from their loss. Their desire to do this lead them to create the Knox Blocks Foundation.
Since launching the foundation in April of 2017, they have been providing Owlet Smart Socks to families in need across the country. In 3 years, they have provided over 5,000 Owlets across the country.
