Just had a happy memory of Roy. We were rehearsing a few songs for Easter. I got a little happy and someone said, " you're sounding like Roy again. You get happy on the piano and you just beat it into submission. ". God bless you Sandy and all the family. 

Dear Sandy and family.. I am so sorry to learn of Roy’s passing! It just doesn’t seem real, some people are supposed to be with us forever! I’m sorry I did not respond sooner, but my husband passed in December also. Takes awhile to function again! He was a sweet  man, you miss him terribly, I know! Take care of yourself and rest in the loving arms of Jesus. My love and prayers! Eleanor Watson

I have enjoyed Mrs. Knights music for many years. Having recently lost my spouse, I understand her pain. God can comfort as no one else can. I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Knight's passing.  My prayers for the family are going up now.

Dear Knight Family,  So sorry to hear of Roy's passing.  May God be with each of you now and in the days to come with His comfort, love, and peace.  I enjoyed hearing you sing and enjoyed hearing songs that your family wrote.  Also have enjoyed Alex and all his musical talent at Southern Wesleyan University -- he has been a blessing to the music department!  Thoughts and prayers,  Glenda Hoyle, Pickens, SC

It was my God-given privilege to call Roy my friend for many years. We shared both a personal relationship as well as professional one. Along with Roy's associate Parker Haskett, I purchased several homes from Knight Realty. Roy was the gentleman's gentleman, the epitome of ethics, morality, kindness, and divinely inspired grace.  Only God knows how many souls he won for Christ through his many years of singing gospel music along with his talented family. Roy was blessed with exceptional musical talents (vocal and instrumental) which he dedicated to his Lord and Saviour.  In heaven today there is one angel more. "God is, and all is well. "

My mom, my sisters & I sung as the Shiflett Family several years with the Roy Knight singers is where I met his wife Sandy who God placed together. The first time I heard him I was a teenager & learning to play the piano & tried to played the piano like him, but never could. I thank God for his positive influence on my life with the word of God & taking the time to encourage people along the way.  God Bless your family & friends. God is getting his choir together & we are soon going home.

I saw him every Sunday at church and he would speak to me and I really loved him and his wife

Our prayers go out to the family, so sorry to hear of Roy's passing! He will dearly be missed! Praying for strength and peace for you in the days to come! David and Melissa knight! 💖

Sandy... 
Mom and I were so sorry to hear of Roy's passing.  What an incredible legacy of faith and following Christ he has left behind. 

The impression!!

His hands played tirelessly for the kingdom of God , and for souls to be saved.   It was his joy, his calling and his heart .  God qualified him for the calling , long before the call came .

What an amazing gift he was given.  And Roy happily shared it with the world in his Ministry  . 

Our hearts morn for your loss,  but all of Heaven rejoices as one of its greatest has returned home. 

Perhaps he and Dad( Ernie ) our playing dueling pianos ..   At the Throne of God, and all of Heaven abounds to hear . 

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family. 

                                                        Love Cleta and Anthony Lowe
                                                             

God be with you I send my love and prayers Roy will be missed by all that knew him 


Sandy and family, I am so sorry to hear about Roy. You are in my thoughts and prayers today during the service and in the days ahead.  Fond memories of attending Preacher Dave Wilson's revivals and your Dad's church. We would come over from Toccoa every night. And this is before you were married. Roy would get off work and come flying into the service. When I was grown and met Gary. Knight when he became our Minister of Music at Toccoa Church of God. I asked him if every Knight was born knowing how to play the piano. . . because every Knight I'd known played. Bless your sweet family. Hugs, prayers and love.  

Sandy and Family ... You and your family have our sympathy and prayers...
Always enjoyed your singing  and worshipping Jesus ...

I was so excited when Roy and Sandy started coming to West Anderson Church Of God. I had always loved their music and was honored to get to know them personally. I am really going to miss Roy. He was a faithful servant of God.  Praying that God will wrap His arms around this precious family and give them comfort and peace.

Dear Sandy and family, 
   We prayed earnestly for divine healing  for our cousin Roy, but God has our days numbered and healed him to his eternal home. I believe as I know you do, that it won’t be long until that great reunion day when we see our Lords return! Continued prayers for you all for comfort, strength and peace. I will be watching the service online and thankful that is available. God bless you Sandy and dear family. We love you. 


Sandy and Family,
Thank you so much for sharing this photo collage of Roy and you guys. It’s been so long since I’ve had the privilege of seeing him (and family) and these pictures demonstrate how proud of his family he was, and still is. I have so many great memories of Roy, Sandy, Aubrey, Jeff, Sharon and Steve while traveling around the southeast with the group quite a few years ago. Roy always honored Christ first and foremost, but he certainly loved having fun also. The great times will never be forgotten, but I’ll never forget Roy’s commitment and service to the Lord and his family beyond everything else.

mr. Roy and i go back to our childhood Roanoke Baptist Church days..His father  was a fill in piano player  for church.. Roy and his father could  play the piano at the same time. one on each end... when the saints  go  marching  in...
 .. they were on a run... with them..  Roy always had time for me.. W/  office visit and we would talk about the old days..Love the family.. my heart  is very sad....Frank masters

Sandy & Family, 
My heart is hurting for you all, but I know the Comfortor is with you and giving you that super natural strength.  If there is anything we can do please don't hesitate to let us know! 
We Love You!

I will always remember how excited we would get every year...knowing that. We were having our "annual "singing at WACOG.....Then later they started coming to church there....Roy and Sandy both taught from time to time in our Sunday school class. I will always remember some of his "stories he would tell of different church services they attended. So thankful for knowing this family...and I pray God will comfort you all as only he can....love you all.....

Sandy and family,
We express our deepest condolences to you and your family in the passing of your loved one.  Roy was known by everybody.  I remember the Roy Knight Singers coming to Seneca COGOP in Seneca several times.  He was always so funny,  All of you could sing.  We always received a blessing every time.  I remember watching you on television when your first daughter was so small and seeing her grow up.  We all feel you are part of all our families.  Love and prayers to each of you.  God bless all during this time of sadness, but yet a time of rejoicing knowing Roy is in heaven with the very one he sang so many years about.  Precious memories until you meet Roy again.
LC and Mary Jo Alexander

May God Comfort & give you all peace. Prayers for the coming weeks, months, and years. The grief never goes away, God just gives you grace to push on. Your family has been a big influence during my singing and worshipping the Lord. I love you all. 
Roy was an extraordinary man and I’m a better person for having met him and being able to witness his ministry first hand.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this sad time.  He will be missed by family and friends. 
He is walking the Streets of Gold.

It broke our heart when we got the news  about Roy.He was  one of a kind , and l know he will be missed. So many memories floods my mind when l think of  Roy. A great man of god! Now he will reap his reward ! What a great reunion that will be when we all get to heaven! May the Lord comfort and keep you all In  this time of sorrow. Praying daily for yall.


Roy was one of the nicest people you could know. Always had a smile and always willing to stop and talk great man of GOD

What a wonder and anointed man of God.  I know the family will miss him greatly but he is rocking that keyboard in heaven.  The Roy Knight Singers is my all time favorite gospel group.  Praying that the Holy Spirit comfort and give you peace as only He can do.  

I am so thankful and honored to have known this great man. There was never a Sunday he didn’t speak to me and tell me he appreciated me. I know he wasn’t a professed minister but he had a Shepard’s heart for people. I will always remember his kindness and how funny he could be. Whether he was on the piano playing for offering or the group or just sitting in the pew,  he would always take the opportunity to testify to God’s goodness and greatness in his life. And anytime his family may be going through something and I would ask how they were doing his answers were always the most positive that he could give and he would end it with “pray for us”.  I can still hear his voice. He was kind and loving to all people and my family and we were honored to be able to sit under such a talented man and family that always showed their love for each other and for God. There will never and could never be another Roy Knight. He was a genuine gem of a Godly man. His presence in this world will be missed. Prayers for this great family.  - love, Glenn & Penny Sellers and family 

Freddy and I are very sorry to hear of Roy’s passing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. 

So sorry to hear of Roy's passing. My husband and I always enjoyed hearing The Roy Knight Singers, you all were such an annointed group, sure he's rejoicing in heaven right now.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time.

I have known this entire family for many years for Mr  Clyde  Knight played the piano at Ronoake  Baptist Church in Liberty, SC for my parents  Mr and Mrs John W  Bagwell  were members of the church.  My family are praying for you that THE LORD will supply your ever need in the days ahead.  GOD  BLESS your gracious  family!

My prayers and thoughts are out to Roy’s family. I enjoyed hearing them sing over the years. He was a Great Christian person and had a heart. May God give you all comfort in the upcoming days and Mrs.Sandy so sorry.  Just know he is praising with Jesus and someday you will see him again. Rip Mr . Roy
