HOUSTON โ Cooper Knox is starting his first day of school without his father, but the Houston Police Department is making sure his day is still filled with joy.
Officer Jason Knox, 35, was on a tactical flight on May 2 with senior police Officer Chase Cormier, 35, when their helicopter went down in a north Houston apartment complex.
HPD and other agencies came together to host a special event from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. to escort Cooper Knox to school at Warner Elementary School and give him a fun, memorable sendoff.
Jasonโs father, Councilman Mike Knox, tells KPRC 2 Jason loved adventure, he loved his family, and loved making memories with his family.
Chris Cormier was in the helicopter with Jason Knox when it crashed.
