Don Knobloch
Dear friends and family of Don
On Saturday, July 2nd, Don finished his journey with us and was brought to his eternal rest with Jesus. I am comforted to know that he triumphs with all the saints because of his Savior. I pray that you have the same comfort. He experiences what we can only imagine:
“Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude… shouting, ‘Hallelujah! For our God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bridegroom has made himself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given him to wear.'” (Revelation 19)
Don was a powerful example of sin and grace. He was constantly confronted and rebuked by mistakes and failures, and only comforted by the good news of Jesus - nothing else gave him encouragement. He served in countless little ways, making the coffee for years at church, driving local acquaintances around town, and serving weekly meals. No matter the challenges, we were all honored to follow Jesus with Don.

Lord Jesus, by your victory over death you have opened the way to eternal life for all of us. Comfort Don’s family in their loss. Let their grief empty their souls of pain, hurt, and disappointment. Fill them up with new life. Renew their joy each morning. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
