David is preceded in death by his mother Shirley and father Frank Knight, his brother Fred and his sons David Wayne Knight Jr and Jeffery Knight. David was a man who lived life to the fullest and appreciated every day he was blessed with. He had a special love for family, friendship, and the things that made him happy. He had many meaningful long-term friendships, all of whom he considered family as well. He was a true cowboy and had a special love for horses and motorcycles. These two passions reflected his adventurous spirit and love for life. His most fond memories were spending time outdoors on a horse, hunting, fishing, and working with his hands. David was a skilled carpenter and was very proud of the cabin he built in Arkansas. Above all, David was a family man. He cherished those closest to him and was the kind of person who always seemed to have friends wherever he went. David’s charm, warm smile and great sense of humor had a way of bringing people together, making memories and leaving an impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him no matter the situation. Though he will be deeply missed, the memories he created, the friendships he built, and the love he shared will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. We are deeply saddened by his passing and our hearts go out to those close to him. We remember the beautiful person that he was and take solace in knowing that he is now at peace and reunited with his precious loved ones in heaven. Rest in peace, David, you will be dearly missed by all who knew you.
