In loving memory of David Knibb who sadly passed away on 20th April 2026.

Dave was loved by his family and greatly respected by friends and colleagues alike. He was a hardworking,
committed, honest, and dependable man who embraced life with a positive outlook, a cheerful smile, and a
wonderful sense of humour that enriched the lives of all who knew him.

He will forever be remembered as a dearly loved and greatly missed husband, father, grandad, brother, uncle,
colleague, and loyal friend.

The Celebration of Dave's life will take place at Ruddington Grange Golf Club after the service - all welcome

Family flowers only. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the British Heart Foundation - a link to JustGiving is on this page. Many thanks

Just heard the sad news about Dave and so sorry we missed his funeral. Dave was jolly and good fun to be with and we have fond memories. He was the John Robertson of the Traffic Football team and you’d underestimate him at your peril.

I’ve only just learnt of the death of David. I knew Dave when he used to pop in to Carlton PS bar a fair few years ago now. My husband Gary knew him through their work. We are so sorry to hear of his death. What a lovely true gentleman Dave was sending condolences to his family & friends. Rest in peace Dave
