A life of resilience, curiosity and connection.
On July 8th John A. Knapp, 55, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy that defied convention and embraced authenticity. Life presented
John with more than his share of challenges-but he met them head on- growing stronger, wiser, and locked in lifelong connections.
Because of them, John was unique. Titles and status never impressed him; he valued ideas, honesty, meaningful conversation, and debate. Whether with a stranger or a lifelong friend, John engaged with openness, humor, and an unapologetic willingness to speak his mind.
You always knew where you stood with him, and if you stuck around, you'd find someone deeply loyal and fiercely loving. To those who truly knew him, John was much more than his battles. He was funny, stubborn, insightful, and kind in his own way. He didn't need approval- he needed connection. And he made it, in unexpected places, and with lasting impact. Whether at a casino table, with family in Nicaragua, over meals across Stuart, or around the pool table at Coconuts- John didn't care about the setting. For him, it was always about the company, the conversation, and time well spent.
John leaves behind a community of people who were better for having known him- who will carry his voice, questions, and spirit forward. He will be deeply missed by his wife, mother, two brothers, a sister, nieces and nephews, cousins, and a beloved rabbit- Cosmo.
Funeral service will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church on 07/25/25 at 10:00 AM.
