William Ronald Knickman, age 90, sadly passed away on January 22, 2026. He was born in Baltimore, Maryland to the late William and Etta Knickman (nee French).

William was a devoted husband of 70 years to Jackie Knickman. He was a dedicated father to his four children and shared great experiences throughout their lives. He was a constant source of family entertainment, and he selflessly allowed himself to be the object of jokes and many stories.

William worked for Purex Corporation for several decades as a safety officer and personnel manager. He was a friend to all he encountered.

William is survived by his beloved wife Jackie Knickman; Charles Barry Knickman and daughter-in-law Denise, Lynda Knickman Pope, Bobbie Knickman, and Randy Knickman and daughter-in-law Helane; cherished grandfather of Jessica Knickman, Sherrie Knickman, Leigha Pope, Virginia Pope, Ashley Jones, Vincent Howlett, and Jackie Knickman; and caring great-grandfather of Bruce Leishear, Jr. William is also survived by many friends and extended family members. He was preceded in death by Bill, Gary (brothers), Lois, Annette, and Janet (sisters).

A public visitation will be held at Ambrose Funeral Home, 1328 Sulphur Spring Rd., Halethorpe, MD 21227 on Monday, February 2 from 11:00am-1:00pm and 3:00-5:00pm. A Funeral Service will begin at 4:00pm.
