Sad News- Northern Knight has Passed Away
- Thread starter Mike from MD
- Start date
Yes he did. He was proud of his children and came across as a loving father.
This is very sad.
I got the sense they were in their late 20’s early 30’s. Similar in age to my daughter and nieces and nephews.
I thought he was around my age. Mid 60’s
Sorry to hear this, Northern Knight was a great poster and great fan. He will be dearly missed.

Sad to hear the bad news about Northern Knight
Though I didn't know him personally he seemed someone
I wouldn't mind knowing
My condolences to his family and friends and everyone
on the TKR board that liked and respected the way he posted.

He also worked with other young people with his church. He was always doing something with the youngs
RIP. Did not know him, but remember many posts on the football boards. He was a very loyal fan. This was representative:
"
"What if we go 4-0 or 5-0 or…
I love dreaming big. It’s the best part of being a fan."

Beat Michigan and we could be 8-0 going into OSU
If we beat Michigan, Wisconsin becomes winnable. And then we will STEAMROLL to 8-0. For this to happen, we need: WR Jackson is the real deal WR Brantley is the real deal TE Bowman is the real deal QB Wimsatt plays to his potential RB Sam Brown stays healthy WRs Rochelle and Braithwaite...

RIP NK. Condolences to his family. A big loss to quality discussion and thought on the board.
This sucks. Sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
From what I recall, he was CEO of a bank in Mass and retired before Covid. He moved to Pennsylvania to be close to family. He was a respectful conservative poster with a calm demeanor that didn't resort to insulting other. I remember him posting for about 10-15 years, had numerous discussion on the board. Way too early at 64 years old.
Condolences to his family.

Terrible news.
He was really good people.
He was a devoted family man.
He was also was a hell of a football player. Played for the undefeated “76” St Petes ( NB) team.
One of the biggest RU fans I ever knew.
RIP N.K.

Very sorry to hear this. Always sad when I hear we lost someone from our little community. RIP Northern Knight
Just seeing this. Such incredibly sad news.
Got to know NK a bit, back in 2019. I knew there were some health concerns. But didn't expect this. He was a class act and gentleman, very intelligent and thoughtful.
I'm seriously bummed out about this. Damn.

Didn’t know him other than his posts.
But, from them, it was obvious he was a smart, considerate, decent, moral man. We are better to have “known” him, the world is less without him.
And to his “adversaries” on the board - the fact that so many are here, and giving respects and thoughts…well…it really speaks to YOUR character as well. It also shows that so much unites us, rather than divides us. I’m sure @NorthernKnight would say the same…

R.I.P.
He was a vibrant and very active member of our community who was more than willing to talk on all manners of subjects, be it politics or any RU sport. His perspectives and thoughts will surely be missed.

Funny you should say that--- the band Extreme released a video for a single today called The Mask, and it addresses this very thing. The beginning of the video has a message: "Hiding behind their masks, they gain power and control, by keeping us fighting with each other... United as one human race we stand. Divided, we fall."
Some of the lyrics are quite on point:
"we’re all the things that we want to defeat"
"we’re everything that we need to pretend"
"I’ll take the blame for all my sins
but I won’t take the hate
for what you imagine…"
Apologies for the intrusion on this thread, but what you said above and thinking of Northern Knight and the various disagreements and agreements many of us have on this boards connected with what you said and this song. In memory of Northern Knight, let's work on being kinder to each other, despite our points of disagreement, and focus on things that unite us.
We had some private conversations. Good ones in the DM world.
This is a shock.
This is a shock.
Damn, one of my favorite posters on this board. I will miss him.
NK was wonderful at standing up for his position/belief without making or thinking anyone was his "adversary". Just saying what he thought was right. Since he grew up in Milltown and I did in East Brunswick, we had a bunch of fun chats about local politics.
Even though I only knew him through a screen you can tell he was a good soul.
He was always a gentleman over on the CE board.
I remember his St. Patrick’s Day threads and him speaking so fondly of his grandkids.
Although we don’t know one another, I pray for his family during this time.
Life is so short.
Cherish every moment you have on this earth.

What a shame. He was a bright guy who really cared about others.
Damn, that sucks. NK was an excellent poster who seemed like a very successful, well-rounded guy both in his career and in raising his family - I always enjoyed his stories about both. We were very well aligned on sports topics and not so well aligned on politics, but I always respected the way he debated topics and learned quite a few things from him over the years. He will be missed.
