May 31, 2025

Boyd L. Knepp, Jr., 75, of Lancaster, PA, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at Masonic Village, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Lewistown, PA, Boyd was the son of the late Flora (Gross) and Boyd L. Knepp, Sr., and the beloved husband of Dollie D. (Garber) Knepp.

A 1967 graduate of Manheim Central High School, Boyd was known for his strong work ethic and dedication to his family. He was employed by Alcoa for many years prior to his retirement, where he was respected for his commitment and diligence.

Boyd’s life was rooted in his faith and relationship with Jesus Christ, which shaped everything he did. He was a man of quiet, steadfast devotion who lived out his beliefs through his love, generosity, and humility. He was a devoted family man who consistently put others before himself—always providing, always supporting, and always leading with strength and compassion. His family was the center of his world.
Boyd is survived by his loving wife Dollie; his children, Boyd E. Knepp, husband of Michelle, of Mount Joy, and Holly Martin of Maytown; four grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and his siblings: Lorraine “Patricia” Reese (Bob), Donald Knepp, Cathy Arndt, Sharon Gustafson, and Jon Knepp (Tammy); as well as a sister-in-law, Deborah Knepp, and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his brother, Thomas Knepp.

A Funeral Service to honor Boyd’s life will be held at 3:00 PM on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, at the Charles F. Snyder, Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543. Family and friends will be received beginning at 2:00 PM until the time of service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Boyd’s memory to Masonic Village children’s home.
