April 17, 1971 - March 4, 2023
Kevin D. Knott, 51, transitioned to his Heavenly Home on March 4, 2023. He was born in Fresno, California, April 17, 1971 to Woodrow, Jr. (Chuck) and Shirley Knott. Moving to Stockton in 1973, he attended Carden, Pulliam, Commodore Skills, and Fillmore Elementary Schools; and Fremont Junior High. For his high school years, he attended St. Mary’s, Calvary Christian and graduated from Stagg High School in 1991.
From his high school days, Kevin enjoyed bowling, basketball, playing some of the first Atari and Nintendo games, and collecting the NBA greats cards of the 1970s and 1980s; he was also an avid Los Angeles Lakers fan. He had a great sense of humor! His signature, loud hearty belly laugh, punctuated many of the interesting stories shared by family and friends over the years. Kevin was greatly loved by all who knew him and he will be missed!
Kevin accepted the Lord into his heart in 1981 while attending Emmanuel Baptist Church. He loved the Lord with all his heart and attended services with his family. He also was a present-day miracle with an awe-inspiring story of God’s Grace and Mercy. In 1989, Kevin was involved in a serious auto accident that left him in a coma for nine days and a severe brain injury. Kevin was not expected to ever walk again, but he did! Due to the accident, he had short term memory issues which necessitated the need for him to live in care homes.
Kevin never married nor had any children. He was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents. He is survived by his sister, Melanie Knott, numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends. We love you Kevin and look forward to seeing you in eternity one day.
