Unfortunately, my wonderful husband Earl Knauss passed away peacefully on Friday, November 13th, 2020. He leaves behind his wife Karen; daughters Michelle, her husband John Sonderegger, Sharon Knauss; grandchildren Stephanie, her husband Mike, Ryan, Anneka, and Alex; great grandson Wyatt; niece Laura, her husband David; grandnieces Jordyn, Mikayla and Abby. Earl had a long successful career with Farmland Industries serving as their Treasurer/CFO. As anyone who knew him, they were all well aware he was a KU Graduate as well as a huge fan of KU. He enjoyed the games immensely! His favorite hobby was golf. If you hear a "Fore' from the east or a "Rock Chalk" from the west, you'll know Earl is still enjoying himself! Due to the pandemic, there will be a small family graveside service soon after Thanksgiving. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Earl's favorite charity: St. Jude's Children's Hospital or if you prefer, the KU Athletics Fund.
