I never got to meet you Grandpa but I was told many stories of your life. You left behind four children and a beautiful wife. Daddy looked so much like you. Thank you for your service.

I have been to and through Keene CA many times, & never knew of this incident. Thank you to Deputy Knott for his bravery. I trust he is remembered as a great man by his sons and daughters.

On the 63rd anniversary of Chief Deputy Knott's death, we honored his service in our patrol briefing by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job.
