Bobby & Bernice Knight Scholarship
Bobby and Bernice Knight were wonderful dedicated partners for more than fifty-eight years. The partnership ended sadly with Bobby’s passing in 2011, but Bernice has taken action to keep that partnership alive through this scholarship.
Bobby was an all-around athlete and outdoor sportsman all of his life. He enjoyed golfing, hunting, and fishing. His last love was flying. According to Bernice, “Bobby was like a boy at Christmas” when he got his pilot’s license. He actually bought his first plane before he got his license.
Bobby had a good “navigation system” in life and in business too. He was an ethical, trustworthy, family man. Bobby moved to Mocksville to serve as the State Farm agent where he remained for 33 years. His partner Bernice was always with him, and they worked together while raising their family. Bobby shared his many talents with his community and church, where he faithfully served. He was elected and served the people of Davie County well for 3 terms as County Commissioner.
During his life, many awards were given from State Farm. He received the “Life Traveler Award,” State Farm’s highest designation, eight times. State Farm called him “a knight in shining armor” when they recognized him for his service. Their commitment to helping students continue their education through this scholarship is a wonderful gift to the community that Bobby would be so proud of.
The Bobby & Bernice Knight Scholarship is available to a high school senior or college student based on academic achievement, needing financial assistance
