Lane Cooper Knupp

Lane Cooper Knupp, born on Oct. 29, 2026, was an answered prayer, a joyfully awaited gift, and a cherished son. He was born beautiful and perfect, weighing 7 lbs. 4 oz. and measuring 20 inches long. But after only six hours, he sadly passed on Oct. 30, 2026.

Lane will forever be missed by his parents, David II and Amber (Miller) Knupp of Blountville, TN, who poured love into him for the brief time they were able to physically hold him. They will now hold him in their hearts forevermore.

His heartbreaking loss will be mourned not only by his parents but also by the following surviving family members:

Paternal Grandparents: David & Renda Knupp of Bristol, VA.

Maternal Grandparents: Robert & Arlena Miller of Kingsport, TN.

Maternal Great-grandparents: Rodger & Judy Castle of Kingsport, TN, and Kathryn Miller of Bluff City, TN.

Uncles and Aunts: Michael & Michele Knupp of Blountville, TN; William & Jessica Miller of Kingsport, TN; and Taylor & Audra (Miller) Davidson of Kingsport, TN.
