Dennis Knarr

October 19, 1948 March 12, 2026

Independence, KY

Dennis Knarr, 77, of Independence, Kentucky, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family.

A longtime member of Lakeside Christian Church, Dennis was a devoted fan of the Kentucky Wildcats, the Cincinnati Reds, and the Bengals. He found great pleasure in golfing, relaxing by the pool, and above all, being with family and friends. He loved to entertain and built a large deck around the pool at his home to create a welcoming space for gatherings. One of his favorite simple pleasures was sharing a meal of country fried steak at Family's Restaurant.

Dennis worked as a truck driver for more than 40 years, most recently with Transwood. During his distinguished career, he safely logged more than 8 million miles without a single accident, reflecting his exceptional skill, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to safety.

Son of the late James Knarr and Marie Hiles Knarr, Dennis is survived by his beloved wife, Carolyn Knarr; his sons, Keith Knarr (Bobbi) and Nick Knarr (Kaycie); his brother, Philip Knarr (Phyllis); and his cherished granddaughter, Violet Knarr. He will be remembered for his deep dedication to his family, his strong work ethic, and the genuine joy he found in sharing life with those he loved.
