Friendship, Love, and Truth to a true Grand United Order of Oddfellows brother. Patrick E. Knight represented to me P.E.K. Patience, Eloquence, and Knowledge.
My grandfather always told me "you can't make a man on the first floor". I believe Pat was a good man who through-out his life performed many good works that enabled him in the end to stand on the mountain top and touch the heavens. Peace and Love to you my brother, peace.

To the Knight family,

Words cannot express the love and respect that I had for Mr. Knight; not only as a family friend and neighbor, but as my christian brother who I learned much from.
He fought the good fight and was a true servant of God Almighty. His ministry and calling was the visitation of those who were infirmed. This was his life's work. The heavens have declared "Pat Knight has arrived".
