Age 34 of Inver Grove Heights.

Passed away unexpectedly on March 2, 2026. Preceded in death by grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Survived by parents, Paul & JoEllen; sister, Emily (Joe) Knopik; nieces, Mae & Louise Knopik; also other close family & friends.

Paul had a larger than life personality, a way to get someone to smile and laugh, and always wanted to help people. Paul loved music; he loved to play his guitar and loved to write. He enjoyed fishing, being outside, and family vacations. He had a strong faith and loved researching the Bible. He loved his two nieces, Mae & Louise deeply!

“It broke our hearts to lose him,

But he did not go alone,

For part of us went with him,

The day God called him home.”

A private Catholic Funeral Mass and Burial will be held for Paul.
