James Clayton Knapp

Thanks for the memory. Thinking of those good times together and the family who still live with great memories of Jim, Dad, husband. Keep well Lyndeen and family.

Dear Lyndeen, My name is Mick Toole and my brother Gary grew up in Rabbit Creek with Jim ,Lynn and Tom, and little Kathleen. Oh, and don't forget Jigs, their faithful dog. Tom and I were inseparable on those long summer days. I remember Jim working on his 30-06, changing it from military to a moose rifle. He was a good guy then and I'm sure you know him to be a great husband/father. We were gonna look him up when we come up from Ketchikan this summer. I'll have to wait and catch up on the...

Dear Lyndeen,
David and I were alerted through a UAF classmate of Jim's passing. We were so sorry to learn of it and recall seeing him in TOK quite a few years ago when we were passing through. Thinking of you and Jim.

It was a pleasure getting to know Jim over the years. He truly lived life and did not let it pass by with out catching a ride! We are going to miss him driving up the highway to sheep mountain or showing up at the clinic, deck out in his best cycle gear with a huge grin on his face! We are blessed to have been part of his life.

Scott and I really enjoyed getting to know Jim at family gatherings. This past fall we had the pleasure of working on a moose with Jim all day. We traded stories and critiqued each other's cuts until it was time to move inside for the grinding and wrapping. One of our motivations for going to the Sheep Mountain 150 the night before was always to hang out with the Knapps and catch up with Jim and Lyndeen and hear about their upcoming adventures. The best part about learning of their upcoming...

Lyndeen, Peggy and I were saddened by this and wish you and your family well. While we have not kept in touch directly, I have kept up with you all through Rex. I remember well the hunting trip Jim and I took to Afognak, it was one of the best hunting times I had in AK.

Peggy sends her thoughts and prayers to you and the girls.

What I remember about Jim Knapp was that he was always in the stands supporting the Houston Hawks girls basketball team. What a great dad! He wasn't super loud or rowdy, he was always very positive, kind, gentle, and had such a nice smile. I'm sorry for your loss Lyndeen, Anj, and Lorena. Much love to you.

Jim would want to thank you for all your kind thoughts and prayers. He would tell you he was enjoying life to the fullest and the last motorcycle ride was incredible.

As they say in New Zealand
"No worries Mate"

I remember Jim as a quietly spoken man who always cherished "his bride" and girls. We spent 1989 in Alaska with Jim and Lynndeen on a teacher exchange. They came to Kerrily's wedding in Australia. They shared their lives with us from afar. Caring and sharing people who visited us in a time of need. Thinking of you and all your goodness. Fishing, flying, snowmachining, family, gardening. So much lived, shared and to remember. Love from OZ. Brian P (Robyn. Deceased)
