James Knaggs Obituary

James (Jim) Knaggs, age 68, passed away unexpectedly on October 17, 2025, at St. Elizabeth Hospital. He was born to parents, Clifford and Leone (Harrison) Knaggs on December 16, 1956, in Oshkosh, WI.
He married the love of his life, Cynthia (Cindy or Lu) Steinert on October 6, 1984, at the home of Al and Miriam Knaggs. Together, they raised a son, Zachary, and a daughter, Danielle.

Jim had a big heart, was selfless and was a good conversationalist. Skills that would carry over in his work and business in the community.

He loved living on the lake, hunting, fishing, cooking in the deer camp and learning about the weather. He also enjoyed his cocktails and spending time with family and friends.

Jim is survived by his loving wife, Cindy Knaggs; son, Zachary (See) Knaggs; brothers, Charles and Neil Knaggs; grandchildren, Evan, Ryan, Benjamin and Andrew; as well as many other family and friends.
Preceding him in death was his daughter, Danielle Knaggs; parents, Clifford and Leone Knaggs; father-in-law, Charles D. Steinert; and special aunt and uncle, Miriam and Al Knaggs.

A private family service will take place on November 8, at Lake View Memorial Park.

Ahhh...a deer hunting friend of mine who I met while I worked at Parnells. Brother Neil helped get my deer I shot bow hunting, which I gave to them. Jim was a kind soul. So sorry for your loss.
