It brings many of us great sadness to report that singer/songwriter Michael Knott has passed away. He died on March 12th at age 61. Michael Knott has fronted bands including Lifesavers, Lifesavers Underground (L.S.U.), and Cush.

His friend and former Dakoda Motor Co. drummer Chuck Cummings writes on a GoFundMe page for the funeral costs, "Thank you in advance for landing on this funding request. Michael Knott was an Icon. A creative genius and a man with a big heart, full of compassion. Sadly, Michael passed away on March 12, 2024. Michael will be missed by many but his legacy will live on through the countless pieces of art and music he created throughout his lifetime. Michael was a firm believer in Christ's resurrection and that is clearly visible in his art and songs. He is survived by his daughter, Stormie."

On the same page, Stormie writes, "To me, Michael Knott was larger than life. He was a kind, empathetic father and a creative genius. There is so much more to say about him, so much more to write, but in this time of shock and profound grief, I cannot list all that he did and all that he meant to us. I can only say I love him so much that it hurts. It is difficult to accept that someone with so much of my heart has left this earth.

As Mike’s only child, I am faced with the daunting task of arranging his funeral and handling the associated expenses. If Michael Knott positively impacted your life, I humbly ask you to consider contributing towards his funeral expenses. Every donation, regardless of size, will help our family honor his memory and bid him farewell with the dignity he deserves.

Thank you for your love and support during this difficult time. I am eternally grateful to you, his friends and fans, for the kind words you’ve shared about him following his passing. Hearing you talk about him, I see that I was not the only one who believed he really was a rockstar.
Stormie (Knott) Fraser"
