    Elias Orion Knapp

    June 8, 2001 - February 3, 2019

    Elias Orion Knapp of Putnam Valley died unexpectedly on February 3. He was 17. Elias was born in Carmel on June 8, 2001 to Steven A. Knapp and Helena Tanttu-Knapp. He was a senior at Putnam Valley High School. He was an incredibly loving son, grandson, brother, and friend. He enjoyed the outdoors, hiking, camping, and riding his dirt bike. He loved playing video games, music, and spending time with family and friends. He had a special connection with animals, especially his dogs, and had an unrivaled and witty sense of humor. Elias is is survived by his loving parents Steven A. Knapp originally of Croton-On-Hudson and Helena Tanttu-Knapp originally of Lappeenranta, Finland, his adoring older sisters Saara and Maija Knapp, his beloved grandparents Carol Knapp of Lake Peekskill and Esko and Annikki Tanttu of Lappeenranta. He is also survived by his aunts and uncles Eero and Sharon Tanttu, and Ulla Tanttu, his cousins Ella Tanttu, Lauri and Valtteri Tiainen, his parents' uncles, aunts, cousins and their children, and his longtime girlfriend Amanda Faul. His life and memory continue to serve through the generous gift of organ donation. As the community has given so abundantly already we ask that in lieu of sending flowers for you to consider volunteering even a few hours of your time at an organization of your choice in Elias' memory.
