Philip Knoble

Philip Knoble, age 68 of Yukon, OK, passed away at his home on Friday, February 20, 2026. He was born on August 19, 1957 the son of the late Milton Andy and Lenice Marie (Lostetter) Knoble. Phil married Jo Ellen Kinney on August 11, 1979 in Boscobel, WI, and they were blessed with 46 years together. He worked as an electrical engineer for AT&T and Lucent Technologies for 26 years, followed by 18 years at the Federal Aviation Administration. Phil loved taking his dogs for walks several times a day and spoiling them rotten with treats. As an avid Green Bay Packers fan, he could often be found cheering on the Packers with a dog snuggling in his lap.

He is survived by his wife Jo Ellen Knoble of Yukon, OK; child Kristin (Sonny) Knoble-Swanson; grandchildren Marigold and Linus; sisters Elaine (Emery) Bloyer, Nancy Tharp, Mary Knoble Miller; brothers Bruce (Diane) Knoble, Scott Knoble, Korey (Andrew) Knoble; step-siblings Lyn Dersch, Sandra (Charlie) Johnson, David (Salvadore) Dersch; along with many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. Phil was preceded in death by his parents Milton & Lenice, step-mother Ruth Dersch Knoble, brothers Dean and Steven Knoble, and step-brother Greg Dersch.

Per Phil’s wishes, no services will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you do a random act of kindness today in his memory. He will be laid to rest in the Blue River Cemetery.
