Christopher M. Knips

Lenore and family,

I just learned of Chris' death and was very saddened to hear about it. He was a former client of mine and in the few years I knew him, I found very quickly how great of a person he was. I send my condolences to you and your family and feel very fortunate that our lives crossed paths for that brief period.

Lenore and family,
Our sympathy on the loss of Chris. Though most of our meetings were at the SPCO concerts (best seats in the house) or occasionally around the neighborhood, we often heard nice stories about you both, and the children, from Sue. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Lenore and family--
I am deeply saddened to learn of Chris's sudden death. Though I only met him a few times, many years ago now, I remember immediately liking him, and the obituary and testimonies here reinforce that long-held impression. My prayers will be with you as you journey through your grief.

Dear Lenore, Anna, and Andrew,
We are very sad today to learn of Chris's death, and our hearts go out to you. What a great guy! And what an example of a professional who devoted his skills to the greater good. We hope his love and example live on and that you find some solace in the pain.
Love, Mike and Tatha

Chris was a friend from our MYF days at Richfield Methodist Church. He was a fellow wrestler; he was on the Edina HS team and I was on the Richfield HS team. His passing is too soon. His life was filled with serving others. We should honor his life by following his example. My prayers and sympathy go his family and friends through the years.

Chris was a friend a very long time ago in high shcool youth group at Richfeild UMC. So sorry to hear of his all too early passing. Rev. Kathy Schuler

Mrs. Knips and family-- I wish to send you my condolences at this most difficult time in your lives. Chris was a fine young man. His spirit and the joy he gave to you all will indeed live on and console you in times of deep sorrow. My best to you all-- Mary Borth

Gerry, Sue, Debby,Lenore and family,

So sorry to hear of Chris' passing. I have so many good memories of the times we spent growing up together--canoeing the creek behind the house in Edina--going on long bicycle rides-building forts in the grove and playing in the barn on our farm. Chris was always full of ideas and up for an adventure. A few days before he died I was looking at a picture of my dad teaching him to drive a tractor. I wish so much that we had kept in better touch...

I'll greatly miss this fishin' buddy.
