ROCK HILL, SC — Donald “Don” E. McKnight, 81, passed away on Wednesday, October 9, 2019 at Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill.
A native of York, SC, Don proudly served his country in the US Air Force for 20 years before settling with his family in Rock Hill. He began a new career as an officer with the Rock Hill Police Department, serving for 17 years before retiring in 1993. Don was a great believer in living life to the fullest. When he wasn't doting on his family, he enjoyed domestic and international travel, and he had recently become a skydiver.
Survivors include his son, Axel (Steve) McKnight of York, daughters Bettina (Tina) Rush of Rock Hill and Gina Dabney (Bud) of Fort Mill; brother, Richard McKnight (Janet); and sister, Martha Blackwell; four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife of 53 years, Ingrid McKnight.
Don was an active member of Rock Hill A.R.P. Church where he was a deacon. His richly blessed life will be honored following the church’s 11:00 a.m. worship service on Sunday, October 13. The family will receive visitors in the church parlor.
