Murfreesboro, TN – Andre’ Earl Knox, the beloved son of Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office Detective Andre’a Butler, tragically passed away on November 7, 2024, after being involved in a head-on traffic collision caused by a drunk driver.

Andre’ was known for his kind and caring nature, always stepping up to help others in need. His passing has left his family, friends, and the community in deep mourning.
