After suffering a battle with Frontoltemporal Lobe Dementia, Steven Paul Knight passed away peacefully on the afternoon of October 29th 2021. Steve attended Liberty Union High School before spending a brief time at San Jose State. Steve was a wonderful man, who was adored by his family, friends, and co-workers. He was raised in Oakley, California and graduated from Liberty High School in 1972 before heading to San Jose State. After that, he came back to Antioch, California in 1974. He had his first son, Christian Knight, with ex-wife Lynnda Painter. Then, in July of 1985 Steve married Kathy Knight. Along with Kathy came her son, Nathan Connelly Knight. Steve and Kathy completed their family when they had their daughter, Kelli Knight, in July of 1986. He always loved and cherished his children so incredibly much and made it a point to be there for them in more ways than one. But it wasn't just his children whom he loved and was there for; It was also all the friends he made throughout the years. Steve and Kathy raised their three kids in Northern California, surrounded by friends and family before spending the last 13 years down in Huntington Beach, where he had many friends, and took his love of outdoor sports to a whole new level. Steve really enjoyed sports; So much so, that as a very small child he would play basketball for hours, play football against, and with, his older brothers, as well as play baseball with friends on the youth league. He played all 3 sports in High School and was inducted into the Liberty Hall of Fame as an individual, as a family member with his brothers David (Merle) Knight and Chris Knight, and also as a team member as part of the 1971 Football Team. Steve always considered it such a highlight to be awarded such a great honor. Some activities that Steve and his family also enjoyed include golfing, snow skiing, water skiing, surfing, paddle-boarding, snorkeling, scuba diving, and various other outdoor sports. And when he wasn't doing one of the above, you could find him walking and working out. Steve loved to travel. He went on many great trips with family and friends. He enjoyed Jamaica, Morea, Hawaii, Mexico, Scotland, and many travels across the US. Some of his greatest memories include time spent with family and good friends on those trips. Steve is preceded in death by his dad, Luther Knight, his mom, Marie Faletti, his brother, Chris Knight, and his son Nathan Connelly Knight. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Kathy Knight, his children Christian Knight (Gail) and Kelli Knight. Steve is also survived by his Grandchildren, who were the loves of his life: Brayden Knight, Kaison Knight, and Jeremy Knight. He is also survived by his brother David (Merle) Knight (Jeannette), his sister Denise Bishop, as well as Aunts, several cousins, In-laws, Nieces and Nephews. Steve will forever be missed, and no one will forget the amazing man he was, because he will live on through his children and grandchildren. We will love and cherish the memories we had with him, until we are reunited. Donation Information Many people have asked if there is a charity that they can donate to in Steve’s honor.
