Knut was a great coach but an even better man! He took a football player like me and turned a walk on thrower into a 4x varsity letterman and team captain.

Rod and I were heartbroken to learn of Knut’s passing. A kind, gentle man of great talent and intelligence, he will be sorely missed by friends and family. Our love and sympathy go out to his lovely and devoted wife, Colleen, and his children and grandchildren. He leaves a huge void in so many lives, but loving memories and time will help to ease the pain of this immense loss. Rest in peace, Knut. You will forever be held close to our hearts.

Knut was everything his family described. His children are much like him in their welcoming nature and strong work ethics. We send our condolences and love to his wife Colleen and her parents. They truly loved him dearly.
