Following a lengthy battle with Multiple Myeloma, Mac McKnight, 62, of Summit, MS, passed away peacefully on September 9, 2020 at his home. He was born March 31, 1958 in McComb, MS. He is the son of H.B. McKnight Jr. and the late Gayle McKnight.

He will be lovingly remembered and missed by his wife of almost 30 years, Patricia McKnight; children, Alicia and Josh Francois, their children, Alex, Taylor, Camron, Koda, Allison, and Ava Conklin; Jessi McKnight and fiancé, Tyler Yoas, their children Brylee East and Jaxon Yoas; and estranged daughters, Shannon Brumfield, Christi Wunstel, and their families. Mac is also survived by his brothers and their wives, Joe and Connie McKnight, Keith and Melanie McKnight, Darren and Kim McKnight; a son-in-law, Troy Conklin and numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

Mac was a member of First Baptist Church Summit. He loved the farmer's life. He raised chickens for Sanderson Farms for almost 20 years and beef cattle for too many years to count. Around the farm, he had chickens, cows, goats, cats, dogs, donkeys and horses. He enjoyed the outdoors; hunting, fishing, and bailing hay were just a few hobbies. He also enjoyed working with his leather. He was looked up to by many as being a "jack of all trades": carpentry, electrical, farming, hunting, leatherworks, the list could go on, but his favorite by far was being a Pop Pop.

A visitation will be at Sharkey Funeral Home on Friday, September 11, 2020, from 5 PM to 8 PM and will continue at Sharkey Funeral Home on Saturday, September 12, 2020, from 10 AM until time of service at 11 AM. Bro. Larry LeBlanc will officiate the services with Sharkey Funeral Home in charge of the arrangements. Burial will follow in Hollywood Cemetery.
