Owen Nathaniel Knight
Owen Nathaniel Knight, son of the late Joseph and Louise Knight, died Tuesday, September 22, 2009, at his life-long residence in Everett, MA. After graduating Everett High School, Owen enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where he served honorably during World War II. He earned a degree in Advertising Design at the New England School of Art, before taking employment at Gaulin Corp. in Everett, where he worked for 40 years. Owen was a fine cook, artist, raconteur and world traveler, whose frequent rips brought him to Europe, Las Vegas, New York and the Caribbean, most often Barbados. His passion for skiing led him to some of the world’s finest mountains as a member of Boston’s premier black ski club, the Snow Rovers. The Knight family was blessed to have Uncle Owen in their lives. He was unique: his warmth and graciousness, his elegance and style, his love of life and laughter, food and art, his hospitality, legendary holiday parties, and gift of storytelling, but most of all, his compassion and friendship will be missed by generations of families and friends – from the Boston area to the Black Forest of Germany. He was preceded in death by his sister, Edna, his brother Grantlin, his sister Delacy, his brother Irving and his brother Frank. He is survived by his older sister, Thelma Massey of Malden and by dozens of nieces and nephews, and a host of friends, too many to count. God bless you, Uncle Owen. We love you. Funeral service for Mr. Knight will be held privately.
