Arthur Knapp Obituary
Arthur Mac Knapp, cherished son of Jonathan and Kayleigh Knapp, was born on May 23, 2025, in Cleveland County, North Carolina. He touched the lives of those around him with his brief but profound presence. Arthur passed away unexpectedly on August 19, 2025, in Clover, South Carolina.
Though he was with us for a short time, Arthur's spirit will be remembered fondly by his family. He is survived by his loving parents, Jonathan and Kayleigh, as well as his siblings, Lucas, Andrew, and Lily, who will carry his memory in their hearts forever; his beloved Aunt, Sally Knapp; and his grandparents, Gail and Raymond Knapp, and Jan and Mark Fritze.
The impact of Arthur's life, however fleeting, will resonate deeply within the lives of his family members, who continue to hold him close in their thoughts and prayers. As they navigate this profound loss, they will take solace in the love and bonds they shared with this precious child.
