Patrick Peter Knoll

Patrick Peter Knoll passed away peacefully on November 10, 2024, at the age of 72. He was born on May 3, 1952 in Aberdeen, South Dakota to Cecilia & Peter Knoll of Hague, North Dakota. He was their fourth child, the first boy of the Knoll family that eventually grew to 10 siblings.

Pat was a devoted father to his three loving daughters, who were his greatest source of pride and joy. He was a contractor by trade but spent countless hours coaching basketball throughout their childhood. He was a generous man with a gentle spirit. He loved NSDU Bison football, riding horses and pecan pie. Known for his contagious laugh, he left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him. His legacy lives on in the lives of his daughters, close family and the abundance of friends he made throughout his life.

Please join us for a Celebration of Life at his favorite hangout, the Maya Cove in Fort Collins, CO starting at 4pm, Friday November 22nd. Please bring a fun memory of Pat to share. He would love that all his favorite people are together in his favorite place.

Pat will be buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Hague, ND so he can rest in peace with generations of Knoll family members. He is proceeded in death by his parents Peter & Cecila (Keller) Knoll, and his older sister Bernadine Knoll. He is survived by his three daughters, Taylor (Eric) Baalman of Arvada, CO, Morgan Knoll of Hudson, CO, Haleigh (Brian) Baker of Fort Lupton, CO and grandson Miles Baalman; eight Knoll siblings (Kathy, Audrey, Rodney, Mike, Arnie, Pete, Carleen & Ceci) and several nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Pat's name to the non-profit charity, Homes for Our Troops. Their mission is to build and donate specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post 9/11 Veterans. As a custom contractor most of his life, combined with his unwavering love for our veterans and this country, this is a great way for his legacy to live on in the lives of others.
