Michael Knepp Obituary

Michael Anthony Knepp, born 11-25-54 and left for a perpetual vacation at the fishing lodge on 1-29-19. An extraordinary artist, capturing what most of us fail to see. A devout angler who practiced catch and release, always in pursuit of the elusive Walter, a German Brown. A lover of all things cat. A craftsman with an exquisite eye for detail, only the finest woods and oils. A guitar maker and a skilled bike builder, there was nothing Mike could not create with his brilliant mind and beautiful hands. A man of a million words. Honorable. Opinionated. A gentle soul. We are certain he is trolling the cool, babbling brooks of heaven. All who knew him, loved him. Services are pending, but until then, go for a long hike in the sunshine, visit a local art gallery, adopt a shelter cat, or do what makes you happy in Mike's honor. With love forever, Chris, Gina and Ruby.
