Described as charismatic, funny, and passionate, Knight was enjoying life to the fullest before the accident. His partner, Hayley, along with family and friends, are devastated by the loss of a beloved individual who had everything going for him.
In the wake of this heartbreaking event, a GoFundMe page has been set up by Joanne Allen, the sister of Knight's partner, to support Hayley during this difficult time. Hayley is now faced with the daunting task of navigating the aftermath of the tragedy, including arranging a funeral, managing hospital expenses, and dealing with legal matters in a foreign country.
Aside from his successful career as a comedian, Knight was also known for his work as a 'Dog Listener,' helping dog owners worldwide address behavioral issues using gentle techniques. His impact extended beyond comedy, with appearances on various television and radio shows showcasing his expertise in dog training.
