Knopick, Donald L. 80, died on Monday, April 15, 2019 at The Estates of Excelsior, a caring and loving nursing home community. Many thanks to the staff at the Estates, as well as to Mission Today and Waconia Hospital's Geriatric Mental Health Unit. Without all their help our journey would have been much more difficult!

He is also survived by his many loving grandchildren: Brett, John, Joey Lynn, David, Lee, Emily, Jack, Kayla, Jake, Gabie, Sydney; great grandchildren; sister Kathy (Jack) Lindstrom and brother Michael (Rita) Knopick, sisters-in-law and many dear nieces and nephews! There will be a memorial mass on Monday, April 29, 2019 at 11:00am at the Church of St. Raphael, 7301 Bass Lake Road, Crystal, MN. Visitation one hour prior to mass with a luncheon to follow. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to the Church of St. Raphael, ProLife Across America or the Alzheimer's Association.
