KNORR, Morris Arthur
May 9, 1960 – April 3, 2024
Morris Arthur Knorr, age 63, of Clavet, SK, passed away on April 3, 2024 after a brief battle with severe heart disease.
Morris was born May 9, 1960 in Kerrobert, SK. He grew up working hard and playing hard. He was always a happy guy. He had a love for all sports but could always be found playing fastball, football, hockey or in the curling rink.
In 1986, Morris came to call Saskatoon his home and it’s here where he raised his 3 children. His family meant more to him than anything else in the world.
In 2004, he married the love of his life, Wendy. After retiring in 2015, they moved out to their dream ranch with their horses in Clavet. Morris was never happier than being able to be out on his ranch doing the “hard work”. He never did anything the easy way, often making jobs take longer than they should because he had to do it all himself. But he loved every minute of it.
When he wasn’t working hard he could be found watching and supporting his children and grandchildren at every sport, school and fundraising event. He was also an avid Rider fan, having season tickets for many years and never missing a game. He was passionately active in numerous historical, genealogical and political communities that brought him tremendous joy. This passion lead him to his newest adventure, helping Ukrainian families escape the War to Canada. His discourse and knowledge will be deeply missed by many.
Morris was predeceased by his father, Adam; mother, Marie; sister, Sara. He is survived by his wife, Wendy; children, Stefanie (Tavis), Adam (Brandy), Kelli (Robin); step-daughter, Amy; siblings, Maureen (Terry), Ellen (Denis); brother-in-law, John (Sara); sister-in-law, Sue (Terry); as well as 8 grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
The funeral service will be held on Sunday, April 14, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. with refreshments and light lunch to follow. The burial will be in Clavet, at Pleasant Point Church for immediate family only.
