Joshua Judd Knipe

Joshua Judd Knipe, 32, of Bethlehem, died on April 15, 2018. He will be remembered for his kindness, his heart of gold, compassion and selflessness. Josh always tried to make people laugh and he loved the outdoors. Nature was a sanctuary for Josh. He found great peace in fishing and playing disc golf. Josh enjoyed art, drawing and music. He appreciated the lyrics of his eclectic mix of music favorites and he knew the oddest facts; often having the answers while watching Jeopardy. And on game days, he could be found intensely watching the University of Michigan or Jacksonville Jaguars.

Josh graduated from St. Annes School and Bethlehem Catholic High School where he wrestled and played baseball and he attended Widener University.

He will be dearly missed by his mother, TinaMarie Ann (Judd) Knipe; his father, Jeffrey Reuben Knipe; siblings, Whitney Theresa Knipe (Benjamin Heist), Jordan Marie Searfoss (Jay Searfoss), Brayden Judd Knipe, and Tanner Judd Knipe; his nephew, Parker Benjamin Heist; and grandfather, Reuben Knipe.

The family will receive guest on Monday, April 23, 2018 from 5-7 p.m. at Connell Funeral Home, 245 E. Broad St. Bethlehem, PA 18018. Additional services will be private at the convenience of the family.
