Tad E. Knight
September 25, 1957 — November 16, 2021
Tad E Knight, 64, died unexpectedly on November 16th 2021. He was born September 25th 1957 in Torrington Wyoming, to Gard and June (Bryson) Knight.
Tad attended elementary school in Torrington, then moved to Casper with his family in 1968. He then attended middle school at East Junior High, then onto high school at Kelly Walsh where he graduated in 1977. Tad briefly studied to be an electrician at Casper College.
While in high school he met his soul mate Julie (Walter) Knight. They were married in 1981 and had 3 girls, Jodee, Kelsey, and Holli. He was very proud of them and did everything that he could to help them, even when he didn't want to.
Staying busy was his way of life. He worked as a truck driver for McKindree and Richardson trucking as well as rebuilding skid houses for Bob's Equipment Rental. For several years he worked alongside his father rebuilding and transporting trailers for their company, Knight Trailers. He was best known for T&G Handiman Service, where he worked for himself fixing, building, and repurposing just about anything and everything. You could always spot him in a crowd wearing his red hat.
Tad was very passionate and talented when it came to wood working. He enjoyed building furniture and anything custom.
Tad loved to give anyone and everyone a hard time any chance he got.
Tad was preceded in death by his wife Julie, mother June, grandparents George and Elma Knight, Floyd and Lillie Bryson, as well as his little brother Gardner Jr.
Tad was survived by his daughters Jodee Knight (Travis Peter), Kelsey (Blaine) Kawcak, and Holli Knight. Grandson Kayson Kawcak. Father Gardner Knight. Sister Patricia Hague, niece Dawn (Jeremy) Shupick, Great Niece and Nephew Sydney and Levi Shupick, Longtime companion Sandi Carubie, as well as many cousins.
