Phillip Knull, 70, of Rosewood, passed away Monday, April 18, 2016. Phil was gently carried into God’s Kingdom and now sees his Savior face to face.
Beloved husband, father and grandfather, loved by many and respected by all, Phil was known for his exceptional work ethic, his commitment to helping others and his passionate love for his friends and especially his family.
Phil was a man of extraordinary integrity with the heart of a servant who found some of his greatest joy in teaching kids at Sunday School or pitching in when someone needed a helping hand.
Phil was a real man in every sense of the word and had a gentle way of living that drew others to him and will be desperately missed.
Phil’s dying wish was that his life and death would point others to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Phil is survived by his loving wife Marilyn “Mitzi” Jordan Knull; his children, Brad Phillip (Cynthia) Knull of Tulsa, Okla., and Mindy Kay Knull (Derek) Kane of Marysville; his four grandchildren, Violet, Carson, Dalton and Paisley.
He is preceded in death by his brother, Raymond (Debi) Knull; and his sister, Patricia Ann (Gerald) Holland.
A gathering of family and friends is from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 21, in Grace Chapel Church, 500 Linden St., West Liberty, where a funeral is at 11 a.m. Friday, April 22, with Pastors Jeff Mixon and Mike Eckstein officiating. Burial is in Oakdale Cemetery, Urbana.
