Philip Kniejski

Philip Kingsley Kniejski passed away peacefully early Saturday morning surrounded by his loving family. He left us to permanently be among the Angels who have always been by his side. He was born May 12, 1992 to Wini and Bob Kniejski. Phil was a special person who touched the lives of so many during his wonderful 28 years with his heart and incredible smile. What made him so special was he always gave you so much and expected nothing in return. Phil was an awesome guy and his spirit and soul will always be with us. Phil attended the Children’s Center, Lowrance Middle School and graduated from Carter High School. After Carter he enjoyed every day at The Enrichment Center. Each of these places enriched his life and his presence made them the special places they are. Phil enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest – whether grand adventures or the little things. He played Challenger baseball, rode horses and bicycles, loved his trips to the Outer Banks, painted, created arts and crafts, and floated in the pool. He always appreciated the opportunity to have fun and be a regular guy. We are forever indebted to all his caregivers who enabled his ability to be that regular guy and live a rewarding life. Phil was the personification of goodness and wholesomeness and one had to love his spirit and soul. He captured you with his smile and always knew those who loved him. On Angel’s Wings he was taken away because of his goodness and he will be with them for all eternity. We will miss him dearly, but he will always be with us because we have his spirit, soul and sweet smile. Go Phil, rest in the arms of Angels. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Jerome Kniejski and maternal grandparents, Howard and Barbara Kingsley. Surviving are his parents, Bob and Wini Kniejski; brother, Brad Kniejski (Allison); sister, Jackie Kniejski; paternal grandmother, Joan Kniejski; aunt, Diane Kniejski (Joe Conway); and uncles, Philip Kniejski and Warren Kingsley (Jean). A public graveside service will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, May 1, 2021 at Forsyth Memorial Park. The family will receive friends at Hayworth-Miller Lewisville Chapel. Memorials may be made in Phil’s memory to The Enrichment Center, 1006 Marshall St SW, Winston-Salem, NC 27101. Online condolences may be made at www.hayworth-miller.com
