We are sad to share the news that John Knight passed away in March of this year.
Knight was raised on the family farm east of Strathmore, Alta. where he began his lifetime passion with livestock. As a young man he trained horses, drove teams and began his cattle career as a member of the Crowfoot 4-H Club. His passion for horses was evident at every parade and show he attended, including the Calgary Stampede.
Knight raised his family on a mixed farm east of Chestermere Lake. He was actively involved in all aspects of 4-H his entire life, from being a 4-H member himself to watching his kids and grandkids go through the program. Knight raised purebred Limousin cattle for 30 years and enjoyed operating the Canadian Limousin Bull Test Station for 10 years. He also enjoyed showing his cattle at numerous shows across Alberta. He was a long-time volunteer with the Calgary Stampede, serving on various committees for more than 30 years.
