Dennis Knott Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 26, 2024.
Fort Myers - Dennis Lee Knott, 82, passed away on July 21, 2024, in Fort Myers, Florida. Born on June 15, 1942, in Muncie, Indiana, Dennis was a dedicated worker at Delco Battery for nearly four decades, retiring in 1998. He was a proud member of the UAW Local 489, the Sympathy Club, and the Pirate's Club in Florida.

Dennis was known for his love of animals, his skill as an amateur professional bowler, and his enthusiasm for NASCAR and the Green Bay Packers. Since 1964, he cherished his summers at Yellow Creek Lake in northern Indiana, where he enjoyed pontoon boating and golf cart rides.

He is survived by his wife, Pat Knott; sons, Kevin (Jana) Knott and Erik Knott; daughter, Tracy (Eric) Rahe; three stepchildren; seven grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and special friends, Mike Reedy, Terry Parsons, and the Jimenez and Sanchez families. Dennis was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Martha Knott, and his sister, Sheila.

A celebration of life organized by his children will be announced at a later date.
