This evening, Roger “Big Rog” Wilson went home to his eternal rest. He was a lifetime employee of the Knox County Sheriffs Office. The last rank that I recall he had was that of Chief.

Big Rog grew up and continued to live in East Knox County where I grew up, before I moved west in 1992. He was always cheerful when you would see him and he always wanted to help you with anything that you needed.
Back in late January 2008, his son, Andy was killed in a car accident. So, while this pain of losing Big Rog is real tonight. He and Andy are reunited once again and for all eternity.
Gonna Miss ya bad, Big Rog. To his wife Becky, son Adam, father Bill and the rest of the family, including the entire Knox County Sheriffs Department. Thank you for sharing Big Rog and our prayers are with you at this time.
