Ryan Edward "MAC" McKnight, 36, of Dawson, passed away Saturday, May 29, 2021. Ryan was born Dec. 3, 1984, in Pittsburgh, a son of Anna Marie (McKnight) Wilson and her husband, Dan Wilson, of Dawson, and the late Kirk Edward Hawkins. Ryan was a loving father of two, Jaydin and Mariah McKnight, though he always considered his daughter's big sister, Layla, to be his own as well! Ryan loved his kids very much and he had a sense of humor that could make anyone laugh. Ryan had a way with words that made him who he was. He loved spending time with friends and family. He was a great singer, R&B was his go to genre (which he and his baby sis shared a love for). He loved to fish and spend time outdoors and loved his hats and Jordan shoes! Ryan's bubbly personality will be greatly missed. He may be gone, but never forgotten! Ryan will be sadly missed by his loving family; his mother, Anna Marie (McKnight) Wilson and her husband, Dan; his son, Jaydin; his daughters, Mariah and Layla; his sister, Raynea Polechko and her husband, Kyle; his maternal grandmother, Mary Elizabeth (Kazimer) McKnight; and aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. Also surviving is his girlfriend, Ronnie Cagle. In addition to his father, Kirk Edward Hawkins, he was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Earl W. McKnight Jr.; and his paternal grandparents, Tom and Isabell Hawkins. Personalized arrangements are under the professional supervision of the ROBERT B.
