He was born the only son of Lemuel Grimm and Carol Mahoney Knowles on November 26, 1961. He graduated from South Callaway High School, with the help of Mrs. Lola Dzurick, as he recovered from a traumatic brain injury. Life had many struggles for him, since the age of 17, but he could always give you a smile and say God bless you to all he talked to.
He is survived by sisters, Galene Castilow (John), Marla Arrowood(Steve) and Lisa Clark(Jim). Nephews, Brian Schmidt, Darrin Shoemaker(Charlene) , Ryan Arrowood(Teresa) , Taylor Clark(Brett), nieces Paige Reese(Andy), Haley Gilmore(Justin), Shannon Schmidt and more great nieces and nephews. His parents, niece, Lea Ann Arrowood and his wonderful Gramme, preceded him in death. He was a brother, son, uncle and a friendly face.
Visitors were a pleasure to him, he liked to talk for a while. Much appreciation to those who took the time to visit him and those who helped him, especially those at Ashbury Heights Assisted Living, where he had lived and enjoyed it there so much. He called that "home" and so wanted to return"home". He will always be remembered by his family, as he helped to make us complete. No one deserves your sweet rest, anymore then you, dear brother.
Private family graveside service will be held at Callaway Memorial Gardens on Wednesday, November 25, 2020.
