Bruce Allen Knott

September 16, 1948 ~ January 02, 2025

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

In the early morning of January 2, 2025, Bruce Allen Knott passed away at the age of 76.

Bruce was born on September 16, 1948 to Pete and Evylon Knott in Grand Rapids, MI. The family relocated to Florida, finally settling in Boca Raton where Bruce graduated from Boca Raton High School in 1966. After graduation, he joined the Air Force and later built his career working for the government in the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

In 1977 Bruce married his wife Kathy in Anchorage, AK and together they raised their children Lisa (Brian) Ehrlich, Ryan (Eowyn) McAlhaney, and Adam Knott. Over the years, they were blessed with 6 grandchildren Hunter, Ethan, Connor, Aidan, Lee, and Madison.

After traveling around the country for work, Bruce moved back to Florida for his well-earned retirement in 2003 and made Melbourne their home. He enjoyed the beaches and golf and traveling in their RV. All of his children also relocated to Florida, and it was his great pleasure to spend time with them here.

Bruce will be placed to rest at Cape Canaveral National Cemetery. He was predeceased by his parents, his siblings Beverly (Dick) Shevlen, Pete, and Pam, and is survived by his brother Paul (Carrie).

Bruce was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend.

Arrangements are under the direction of Millennium Cremation Service. Condolences may be shared online at www.millenniumcremationservice.com.

I have very fond memories of sitting out on the balcony with Uncle Bruce whistling fun tunes. To my young mind he was a calm, sturdy presence. As I grew older, I understood and appreciated his easy going manner and have memories of him and my dad helping on Uncle John’s farm land. He always made folks smile and he has left positive memories for so many people who spent time with him.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
