Dr. John H. Knight, 81, of Charlottesville, has been released from the fetters of time and material existence on Earth. On Monday, May 14, 2012, the seven year anniversary of his wife June's death, while surrounded by family and friends, he began his new life progression of eternal education and spiritual evolution leading to an eventual supernal existence on Paradise. He is at one with those who have preceded him and those who will follow. Although born in Legionier, Pennsylvania, he grew up in Charlottesville, graduating from Lane High School. His education at The University of Virginia was interrupted as he volunteered for active military duty during the Korean conflict.

Upon returning to the school he loved so much, he graduated from the University of Virginia and subsequently attended the Medical College of Virginia where he received a Doctor of Dental Science and BMS degree in 1960. Good fortune and health allowed him to practice the profession he so loved for 52 years. He was a member of First United Methodist Church, the American Dental Association, the Virginia Dental Association, Shenandoah Valley Dental Society, and was recognized as a Fellow of the Virginia Dental Association. He was a life member of the ADA, VDA, the University of Virginia Alumni Association, and the Charlottesville Municipal Band. He was a charter member of the Thomas Jefferson Lions Club and the Torch Club in Charlottesville. He was a member of the Virginia Athletics Foundation, The Rotunda Society, and Farmington Country Club. Preceding him into celestial life were his grandparents, the Reverend Henry Knight and Annie Shifflett of Greene County; George Hurd and Kate Calloway Hurd of Harrington, Deleware; his parents, Howard Knight and Iris Hurd Knight of Charlottesville; and his sisters, Faye Knight Kurz of Martinez, California, Jane Streetman and Kathryn Wright, both of Charlottesville; and other relatives, including Charlotte Pecora and Jack Dillard. He now joins his loving wife, June Dillard Knight, who began her spiritual journey on May 14, 2005. Memory of him remains in the hearts and minds of his children, John H. Knight, Jr., DDS and his fiancee, Wanda Dunning, Colter Dillard Knight and Heather Rea Knight; his grandchildren, John H.
