Kolton Michael Knudson, 23, passed away unexpectedly on June 13th, 2021, in Phoenix, Arizona. He will forever be remembered as he was: Welcoming and friendly, lively, a crazy-fast talker, energetic, passionate about the world of basketball and athletics, kindhearted, oh-so-very muscular, and good-humored. He is forever in the hearts of and survived by his family: His father Kevin Knudson, his mother Kimberly Bryan, “bonus” parents John Callahan and Michelle Knudson, as well as his siblings Kaitlyn Stoumbaugh, Karsten Knudson, Kennedy Knudson, Mikayla Miner and Micah Arzate, and Hana and Maya Callahan. And so many more. His pleasant personality and smile were contagious, and his attitude was both easygoing and intentional. He was always easy to talk to, and a good listener. The simpler pleasures in life left Kolton full, and he enjoyed being next to the beach, working out and pushing himself, gaming with his brothers, playing a competitive game of basketball, and making friends everywhere he went. Kolton freely received grace and freely gave it as well. He is also remembered in his short but full life by dear friends and family in Arizona, Texas, Colorado, and Washington state.
