Virgil Kelly Knight, Sr., 72, passed away peacefully at his home in Garden City, GA, December 18, 2019.
He loved his wife, “Trish”, of 50 years. He was a dedicated father to Pooh Bear and Sonny Boy. “Papa” adored his three grandsons.
He loved to work with his hands. A master handy man, he was able to fix just about anything. Gardening and yard work were two of his passions. The vegetables he grew were shared with family and friends. He also enjoyed discovering his roots through genealogy which connected him with family across the nation.
His reputation as an honest and dependable businessman allowed him to be owner/operator of Knight’s Service Company for 40 years.
He is survived by his loving wife, Patricia M. Knight; daughter and son-in-law, Karen K. Smith & Timothy W. Smith; son and daughter-in-law, V. Kelly Knight, Jr. & Ginny R. Knight; grandsons, Dalton, Keaton, and Colton Knight; four sisters and one brother: Marie Tippins, Laverne Hall, Pat Maltos, Grace Knight, and James (Tobby) Knight; as well as many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert & Lola Knight, his sister, Jessie Lee Willoughby, and brother, Bill Knight.
There will be a Celebration of Life at 2:00pm, Saturday, December 21, at Woodlawn Baptist Church in Garden City, GA.
