in loving memory

Since our founding, we’ve had 40 worthy brothers of our council depart to their eternal rest including our beloved Rev. John T. Weyer, Jr.  Every man that joins the Order has an interest to support one goal: TO BE DEFENDERS OF OUR COUNTRY, OUR FAMILIES AND OUR FAITH. Our departed Brothers dedicated not only to serve worthily for our parish and clergy but to also stand in unity with fellow Knights to be better Catholic men for the parish, community and families.

These men are a testament to Fr. Michael J. McGivney's mission and the essence of the Knights of Columbus. For many of us of who knew these men, we remember their charitible spirit and their devotion to their faith. Let us never forget the lesson of Tempus Fugit, Momento Mori (Time Flies, Remember Death).  "This greeting is a reminder of one’s mortality and the need to live faithfully in this world. Life is short; live your life well."  Let us constantly reflect that we have such a short time to prove ourselves worthy for eternal life in heaven.

We offer our humble gratitude to the Lord for the time He allowed them to be with us and to their families. The month of November is dedicated for these brothers. Pray for their souls and for their families. May their souls rest in peace.

JD Gutierrez,
Grand Knight
