Sometimes she is Minnie Mouse while others, she is an adorable clown. Tragically, in the middle of all of this, Amy has suffered a devastating heartbreak.
Her father, Gordon Knight, died at the age of 97. This happened three weeks ago, and it was Jacob Roloff who broke the news via his Instagram. He shared a series of snaps featuring Gordon and noted that he has not had the chance to “process” the death just yet. Jacob added that his grandfather could be intimidating, but always had a smile and a wink. Moreover, he loved visiting him and his grandmother because family time was extremely special. Gordon was a cool dude, living his best life just four months before he died, and age never slowed him down.

- So beautifully said Jacob. I’m going to miss him lots too. So many memories. Never often enough to take all you four kids to see grandma and grandpa over the years. I’m happy you had a chance to go and visit grandpa with me as an adult. I hope each one of you will have a special fond memory of him. 🙏🏻💙
