Edward Allen Knight of
Grand Junction, CO passed
away peacefully on April
20, 2023, at the age of 73.
Originally from California,
he met his future wife, Jo
(Morningstar) on a foggy
Laguna beach in February 1984. They eventually moved
to Aspen, CO, got married, and began their family.
Edward was a brilliant man, with many talents and
interests. While he held many jobs over his life, he
most loved being a geologist in the oil/gas industry on
the Western Slope and searching for fossils in his “off
time.” Edward’s favorite place was going anywhere
“on an adventure” surrounded by his family of “three
beautiful blonds.” He enjoyed fly fishing, rock hounding,
kayaking, off roading, all while looking for somewhere
off the beaten path.
Music was the heartbeat of his soul; he loved playing
harmonica and jamming with his many local musician
friends. Edward was an avid reader of American
History, paleontology, geology, and military fiction. He
considered their four Golden Retrievers his extra kids
and they made him smile every day.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Jo Knight
of Grand Junction, and daughters, Lindsey Goodman
(Casey) of Parker, CO; Kelsey Knight (Javier Rubio
Villa) of Westminster, CO; and Jessica Miller, of
Fowlerville, MI; and grandchildren, Thomas and
Eleanor Goodman.
He is preceded in death by his parents and brother.
His two sisters still live on the west coast. Edward will
always be remembered for his love of exploring and
countless adventures. He will be greatly missed by his
family and friends. We love you, Ed, Daddy, Papa, Tall
Ed, Slim, Eeyore and Sir. Rest in peace – not fade away.
