| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Thursday, January 11, 2018 <<< John Francis Knutson, 62, departed with angels Dec. 27, 2017. Born in Ottawa, Illinois on June 2, 1955, he was the son of John Reuben and Mary Ruth (Blodgett) Knutson. John is off on his next adventure. This new mission takes him to a beautiful place where he will be writing songs, playing music, dancing, singing, and reading to his heart’s content. This adventure includes a grand reunion with family and friends he hasn’t seen in a long time. Music, laughter and love are guaranteed. Food is delicious; he will never gain an ounce. John will be fondly remembered by family and friends as a loving father, brother, son, unwavering friend, passionate songwriter and adventurous nature enthusiast. For many, John was that one person who always listened. He had an amazing ability to lift your spirit, motivate you, encourage you, point you in the right direction and inspire you to become the best version of yourself. John would like you to know he is still listening. He was preceded in death by his father, John Knutson, and brother Richard Knutson. John is survived by his mother, Mary Knutson, brother Robert Blodgett, sister (John) Karmi Dummett; daughter Kristen (Kyle) Clark; son Mark (Robyn) Knutson, four grandchildren: Austin, Caroline, Olivia, and Nathaniel; five nieces; nine nephews; 11 great-nieces and six great- nephews, all of whom he loved deeply. Please join us in celebrating his life by thinking of him whenever you hear the song, “Piano Man.” Services were placed in care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home.
