Jeff McKnight Death – Obituary | Dead – Passed Away

Jeff McKnight Death – Dead: A great loss was made known to InsideEko. As friends and families of the deceased are mourning the passing of their loved and cherished Jeff McKnight.

Having heard about this great loss, the family of this individual is passing through pains, mourning the unexpected passing of their beloved.

This departure was confirmed through social media posts made by Twitter users who pour out tributes, and condolences to the family of the deceased.

As someone who lost their spouse after a long illness, I am constantly thinking about others in similarly devastating situations. Jeff and Laura’s story, like so many others, is deeply special. In grief, we are terrified of forgetting. Remember #jeffmcknight

Dear Dr. McKnight, so sorry for your loss and my condolences to your family! While most of us never met you, you and Dr. Jeff McKnight let us all join in your most vulnerable moments and both your courage touched so many lives

Jeff passed away this evening, a few hours after I left the hospital. I really believe he held on long enough to celebrate Katherine’s birthday. I honestly don’t know how to function right now, but I am glad he is no longer suffering.

Beautiful thread about Jeff McKnight written by my great colleague David Garcia. It sums up so much that I have been struggling to accurately articulate about Jeff at this time.

RIP Jeff McKnight, a kind, brilliant, and creative soul whose lab is directly above mine. I am amazed by the courage and honesty in which he faced the most terrifying of journeys. Love to the McKnights. We are heartbroken here at UO.

We offer our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Jeff McKnight, a valued colleague, UO biologist, and Knight Campus associate who passed away this week. We will miss him.

Jeff McKnight was a husband, father, and PI at OU. He (@McKnightLab_UO), his partner Laura (@McknightLaura), and his daughter fought a courageous battle against lymphoma during the last half-year. He died today after just barely living to see his daughter’s birthday.

The Professor, @McKnightLab_UO, passed away yesterday.

Many, like me, never knew of Jeff McKnight except on this website. Grief has brought together a lot of people, including me, on here.

We mourn.

Our hearts go out to the family and friends of UO biologist Jeff McKnight who died on Sunday of lymphoma. Jeff was an amazing father, husband and scientist who will be deeply missed by all of us in the UO research community and beyond

We are still working on getting more details about the death, as a family statement on the death is yet to be released.
