WARREN KNIGHT
Warren Knight of Cabot, a cornerstone of the community, passed away Feb. 27 at the age of 71. He was a loving husband and father.

He was born Oct. 24, 1933 at home in Fruit-vale, Tenn.

He was a longstanding member of the First Bap-tist Church of Cabot. He believed and loved the Lord his entire life.
Warren was married to the love of his life, Sandra, for 52 years. They were high school sweethearts who married at the ages of 17 and 19.

In his early life, Warren worked with his father at the Ford Motor Co. and A&P Grocery in Memphis. Warren quickly was promoted through the grocery business ending up in North Little Rock as the Arkansas division supervisor for Weingarten’s, a Houston based grocery chain. In 1971, after working 11 years with Weingarten’s, Warren left his job and moved to Cabot where he purchased Thompson’s Dollar Saver to go into business for himself. Warren and Sandra, along with their three sons worked hard to build a successful business, which is celebrating its 34th anniversary this month.

Warren was the backbone of a very close knit family which consisted of three sons and their families. He was always quick to contribute good advice to those who were willing to listen. Anyone who ever worked with Warren was very familiar with his “penny” story. He used that story as an example to show that to make a dollar, you have to start with a penny.

Warren accomplished many things in his life. In the early seventies he sponsored the first pee wee football and baseball organization that continues on today. He avidly supported the successful effort to start the Cabot High School baseball program. Warren was also an accomplished pilot acquiring his private pilot’s license in 1977.

He is survived by his wife, Sandra; his sons Keith and wife Cherie, Kent and wife Karen, Kevin and wife Karmen, one older sister, Mary Ann Mathis and a younger brother, Vandon Knight; 11 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
