Jarrod graced this earth on January 10, 1979 in Pasadena, Texas to parents, Walter and Joanie Knebel. He, his parents and his brother, Brandon Knebel, have been lifelong residents of Livingston, Texas.

Jarrod will forever be remembered for his love of music, willingness to help people, passion for working with youth, and his unwavering faith in God. His mischievous grin and endearing eyes never met a stranger. Known for speaking his mind and not holding back, Jarrod's personality was captivating. His powerful words, unprecedented strength, and immoveable compassion for Christ and all living things made Jarrod a Godly man and force to be reckoned with. His words were powerful and his compassion for people and animals could not be measured. Zeke, his Am Staff, was the light of his life. Jarrod's spirit and kindness will forever be seen in Zeke.

Jarrod shared his life and love with so many people. His brother, Brandon, is his best friend, sidekick and accomplice. Best friends in this life and beyond. They carry a bond that can never be broken. His cousins, Jason and Jonathan, are also his brothers.

Although only on this earth for a short time, Jarrod managed to touch an astounding number of lives. Each and every one will forever and always carry him in their hearts.

He is survived by his parents, Walter and Joanie Knebel; grandparents, Kenneth and Dorothy Knebel; brother and fiancé, Brandon K. Knebel and Rachel Klett; uncles and aunts, Dan and Sandra Jones, John and Christine Sheffield; cousins, Jason Jones, Jonathan Jones, Winona "Topsy" Richardson, Sam and Amanda Sheffield, Bradley Knebel, Stephen Knebel, Rachel Sheffield, John Caleb and Chelsey Sheffield; great uncle and aunt, Hubert and Margaret Page; great aunts, Mary Ola Acuff, Doris Andrew; and numerous other relatives and friends.

Thank you to everyone for prayers, thoughts of comfort, and acts of kindness during Jarrod's time on this earth.

Never before, never again will there be as beautiful a soul as that of Jarrod Bonnell Knebel.

Truth in music, steady in faith, and hopeful in heart. J.B.K.
