Mr. Knierim was born Oct. 26, 1957, to Ralph Knierim and Alvesta Mae Buck. He spent his childhood in the North Kansas City area, graduating from Winnetonka High School in 1976. He married Susie Isaac Troutz in April of 1992, in Smithville. Together their family grew over the years. They have spent the last 10 years building their farm just west of Lockwood.

Mr. Knierim was a lover of all things in nature. If he wasn’t fishing, you could find him outside enjoying the animals on their land. He never passed up the opportunity to be one with nature. He was also a man of many talents. He was an amazing artist who could capture scenery on a canvas and bring it to life, as well as a talented woodworker. There wasn’t much he couldn’t accomplish when he set his mind to achieving it.

One of his favorite things was to do with his son Kyle was go fishing. They spent many hours talking, planning and executing their next adventure. There weren’t many areas around that he had not dropped a line in.
