Benjamin Bell Knight

Years ago I joined Ben´s friends for a week at the beach at Edisto, SC. While surf-casting, I hooked a good fish and brought it in. Ben walked up and without saying a word, unhooked my fish and walked to the beach house. I caught up moments later and found Ben cooking the breaded fish fillets in a frying pan. That fast! I cherish the memory and mourn his passing.

I met Benny at Boy Scouts Troop 39 when we were around 12 years old. We spent years camping ,hiking , canoeing .tent mates at Rainey Mountain Boy Scout Camp (it rained all week thanks to a passing hurricane). I went to the only Forsyth County High School at the time with Ben. Benny was a great friend to many people and a very smart person. He drew a beautiful set of plans for our home to fit on an existing basement home. I am sad to find out about Benny's passing he will be missed by many...

Paula, my thoughts are with you. Ben was a good friend at GaTech architecture school and in Cumming when I moved there in '91. I was so amazed at his constant activity in the outdoors. I am fond of my personal trips with him that included shooting clay targets on his relatives' property- before Cumming was overdeveloped, and to N.Georgia for camping & trout fishing (War Woman Dell). He was a talented designer and a great influence on me for art, design, music, writers, etc. I hope you are at...

Truly a gentle giant. Graduated high school together. Benny did an amazing design for the main entrance to our first house. I know he will be missed by many.

I was on the drill team and Benny was such a fun, gentle friend to all! Saw him some years back at a bluegrass festival. He made a large impact on so many and will be missed!

I graduated high school with Benny in 1978. He was always a stand up guy! I am so sorry to hear about his passing. He will be missed! Jimmy Orr

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
