It’s a sad day for comedy fans<\/a> and dog lovers. Comedian Tony Knight has died in what his family describes as a terrible accident. The comedian attended the Rock’&’Cars Festival in Lavaur, France when the accident occurred.”[Knight] was only 54 and having the time of his life,” his family shared. “He was fit, healthy, happy and had everything going for him. He was charismatic, funny, passionate and so very loved by [his partner] Hayley, his family and his friends all over the world.”\"Comedian<\/picture>\n

While at the festival, a large branch from a tree<\/a> crashed ontop of Knight and several other festival attendees. Others were injured, but Knight was the only one to die from the limb. Joanne Allen, the sister of Knight’s longtime partner, Hayley Wright established a GoFundMe for the comedian.<\/p>\n

She wrote, “Tony was my sister’s partner of over 15 years. They were perfect for each other and had built a wonderful life around their love of dogs. Tony was Hayley’s everything and vice versa…soulmates was not an understatement. Tony was tragically killed in his beloved France on Saturday 7th June following a terrible accident while attending the ‘Rock&Cars festival’ in Lavaur. He was only 54 and having the time of his life.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
