Robert "Donn" Knepper passed away on July 21, 2025 at the age of 88.
Donn was born January 13, 1937 in Fullerton, NE to the late Andrew and Elizabeth Knepper nee Hodson.

Donn is survived by his son, Matthew (Camille) Knepper; three daughters, Cindy Knepper, Deb (Jerry) Gancos, Jakki Knepper; sister-in-law, Fran Finkelstein; grandchildren, Chris, Beth, Matt; and 4 great-grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by his father, Andrew Knepper, mother, Elizabeth Knepper, wife, Stephanie Knepper, and brother, Eugene Knepper.

Donn retired from the St. Louis Public Schools as a psychologist. After retirement Donn moved out to the country and enjoyed the quiet serene of country living. Donn loved spending time with his family, having a couple glasses of wine, watching golf especially the PGA and LPGA. He enjoyed his daily trips to the aquatic center to go swimming and before that was built he always went to the YMCA. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
