David was born December 30, 1940 in Roswell, NM to Glenn Knoll and Gladys Juacile Knoll. His parents preceded him in death. David was also preceded in death by his brother Buck Knoll.

David grew up in Dexter, NM and Bowie, AZ. He had 3 siblings Buck, Sylvia and Harvey. David delighted in telling colorful, entertaining stories regarding his upbringing on the farm and the ways he and his siblings engaged in mischief. Anyone who spent time with David would eventually hear of his high school days in Bowie, his great childhood friends, and his college days in Tucson, AZ.

David married Carolyn Lewis on February 10, 1973 at the JY Ranch, north of Roswell, NM. They have two children Shawna Knoll and Dana Gray.

David graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelors degree in Animal Science in 1965. Over the next 30 years he built his reputation in the feed industry in Southern New Mexico and proudly ended his career as the US Dairy Division Sales Manager with HiPro. He greatly enjoyed at past 18 years with HiPro and the opportunity to build the business and serve the community. He loved to hunt and fish. He especially loved to take his grandson rattlesnake hunting on the Ranch. When his children were growing up David spent many hours and weekends taking the kids, cousins and their friends waterskiing, camping, and concert hopping. Davids warm generous spirit touched the lives of many and he will be dearly missed by his family, friends and the community.
