Michael Knoll Obituary
Michael Paul Knoll, born on August 18, 1956, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, passed away on December 28, 2024, in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. He dedicated his life to his career as a Mill Wright, serving with commitment and integrity for 30 years in Georgia.
Michael was known for his impeccable sense of order, evident in his daily vacuuming routine, reflecting a meticulous personality. His generosity was boundless, and he had a profound consciousness about the environment, constantly striving to make thoughtful decisions that positively impacted the world around him. A devoted man of faith, Michael was an avid churchgoer and a longtime member of Blessed Sacrament Church, where he found community and solace.
In addition to his professional and personal commitments, Michael cherished his time spent outdoors, particularly enjoying bike rides that allowed him to connect with nature and his surroundings.
Michael is lovingly survived by his parents, Curtis and Beverly Knoll; his beloved siblings Christy Schneider, David (Kelly) Knoll, and Rick (Connie) Knoll; and further survived by 11 nieces, nephews, other family members, friends, and family pet, Stella. Cherished nephew of Gilbert (Paula) Kaminski and Norman Knoll. He will be missed by his friend Desi, of Bulgaria. His spirit will be dearly missed by all who knew him, leaving behind cherished memories and a legacy of kindness and devotion.
Memorial gathering will take place Thursday, January 2nd, 2024 from 10:00 am until 10:45 am followed by a Mass of Christian burial at 11:00 AM at Blessed Sacrament Church.
In lieu of flowers, please have masses said at Blessed Sacrament or make a donation to the church.
