  Jon Knipfing

  It doesn't matter by what name you knew Jon. Lefty, Juicy-J, Knipfing, GOAT. What you would know if you had the pleasure of working or being with him is that he had a passion for his team and a passion to help customers. It is with much grief & the deepest of regret that I announce that Jon Knipfing went to Heaven on August 5, 2021. Jon was 37 years old, the first son of two, born to Carole & Brian Knipfing. Jon and the Turner's have been friends for 30 years and has worked with Andy, Adam & Alex for over 10 years. Jon’s passing is a great loss and we as a family extend our deepest love & sympathy to the Knipfing Family at this very sad time. Thank you for your prayers and please continue to pray for Brian, Carole & Michael Knipfing and his family. Jon will be greatly missed. He was a LEGEND!!!

  Vinny Cangiano

  Vinny was a friend people dream of; loyal, compassionate, supportive, loving, dedicated, competitive…the list goes on. Our lives will forever be impacted by his big personality and love for his job and the people he worked with. Vinny passed away 9/5/2021 valiantly fighting the evil Covid virus. We can't even begin to express our regret in his passing. He leaves behind his sweet children Ava and Landon, wife Nicole and an army of Turner Family Insurance employees that will never be the same. He is gone but not forgotten.
