Our dear friend Mario Knapp passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, October 30, 2013, at the young age of only 27. He served in the U.S. Army and worked as a corrections officer with the rank of Sergeant. Mario was a wonderful son, grandson, brother, nephew and devoted friend to many. Most of all, a loving husband and father, his three young boys meant the world to him.
Mario had a great passion for cars and he loved to spend his spare time working on his car, as well as helping other fellow club members with their cars. He also enjoyed attending car cruises and car shows at every chance that he could. Simply put, Mario was the definition of a car enthusiast. 

Please join us for this great event as we honor our friend and raise funds for a great cause!
