Please see the statement below from President Brad Wolf -

As many of you know, Zacchary L. Knoll passed away on Monday, December 8, 2025, at the young age of 42.

Zac was the Director of Public Works for Denver Boro, and he was perfect for the job. Zac was highly respected among Denver Boro employees, the residents, and the Denver Fair Committee.

Over the years, the Denver Fair Committee frequently relied on Zac when things didn’t work or broke during the annual Denver Fair. Zac was ALWAYS there, whether it was during his working hours or not. He always had a positive attitude and never treated any challenge as a problem.

Zac was a tremendous asset for the Denver Fair Committee, as well as the entire Borough, and he will be greatly missed by all.

Gone much too soon, Zac is survived by his wife, Teal, and a young son, Barrett, as well as his parents and siblings.

Because Zac had such a substantial impact on The Denver Fair and our community, the Denver Fair Committee has started this account, with the funds going directly to Barrett as he grows older, in honor of his late father, Zacchary L. Knoll. If Zac made an impression on your life in Denver Borough, we welcome your contribution, if you are able. The account will be presented to Zac’s family during the opening ceremonies of the 2026 Denver Fair, Tuesday, September 15, 2026 along with a moment of silence in honor of Zac’s life and dedication to Denver Borough.
