Brandy Faye Knight

Brandy Faye Knight, age 43, gained her angel wings on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. She was diagnosed in November of 2025 and faced her illness with quiet strength and grace.

Brandy was born on April 1, 1982, in Gainesville, Florida, at Shands Hospital.

Brandy was a loving wife, devoted mother, daughter, sister, and friend. She had a gentle spirit and a heart that loved deeply. She was the kind of person who lived simply, never needing attention or recognition, yet leaving a lasting impact on everyone who knew her. Her greatest joy in life was being a mother to her three beautiful children, and she carried that role with endless love and quiet devotion.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory her loving husband, Willie Knight; daughters Samantha Knight and Lyndsey Knight; son Willie “Bubba” Knight Jr.; her parents Michael and Debra Roadlander; sister Melinda Douglas; nieces Ashley Okahara and Elizabeth Okahara; her best friend Betty; along with a host of cousins, extended family members, and many dear friends who loved her deeply.

Brandy was preceded in death by her grandparents Wallace and Faye Colburn; her born-sleeping Knight babies; her aunt and uncle Carolyn and Doug Bracewell; cousin Payton Powell; and niece Skyla Douglas.

Some people live quietly, loving deeply without ever needing attention or applause.
That was Brandy Faye.

She was simple in the most beautiful way—never needing much, never wanting the spotlight, and hardly ever wanting her picture taken. She was a devoted mama who carried so much silently so that no one else would have to worry.

Though her time here was far too short, the love she gave will live on through her children, family, and all who were blessed to know her. Brandy will be forever 43.

She will be deeply missed and forever loved.

Crevasse’s Simple Cremation is honored to serve the Knight family.
