We have been notified of a tragic death of one of our firefighters. On
Saturday, July 5, Teague, Texas Volunteer Fire Department Chief Robert
Knight, 42, was injured while fighting a building fire in downtown Teague
when a wall collapsed on him. He was taken to a Tyler hospital, where
he died later that night in surgery.
Knight, who lived most of his life in Teague, was a 1988 Texas A&M graduate
who worked as an engineer for the BNSF Railroad. He joined the Teague VFD
in 1989 and became chief in 1999. He also volunteered as a paramedic.
In April, the Teague Chamber of Commerce named him Citizen of the Year.
Visitation is Tuesday at Bowers Funeral Home in Teague. Funeral services
are at 10 a.m. on Wednesday at the First Baptist Church of Teague. Burial
will follow at Greenwood Cemetery.
Knight is survived by his wife, a son and two daughters.

May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. For his
unselfish dedication to Protect the citizens of his

Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Robert.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
