Thomas Knight Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Community of Hope Funeral Service on Mar. 6, 2026.
Thomas L. Knight, Jr., of Gates, North Carolina, was born on June 1, 1957, in Ahoskie, North Carolina. He peacefully transitioned on March 5, 2026, with his loving family by his side.

Thomas was known as a devoted family man, loyal friend, and hardworking individual. He dedicated many years of service as a forklift driver with Birdsong Peanuts, where he was respected for his strong work ethic and dedication. Thomas believed in providing for his family and took great pride in the work he did each day.

Beyond his work, Thomas cherished the time he spent with his loved ones. He was someone who could be counted on- whether it was lending a helping hand, sharing wisdom, or simply enjoying the presence of family and friends.

Family and friends are invited to join in honoring and remembering his life.

A viewing and visitation will be held on Monday, March 9, 2026, from 3:00pm until 6:00pm at the funeral home for a time of reflection with the family.
