He is survived by his mother, Tammy Jordan Sharp; and his four children, Yazmin, Natalie, Brayden and Naudiyah; one brother, Edward Craft; a niece, Destiny Craft; two twin nephews that were so special to him, Hayden and Jayden Craft; a nephew, Jeremiah; as well as the mother of his children, Tiffany Rester, whom he cared for deeply. He is also survived by four aunts, Jo Anne Polk, Liz Norris, Patsy Jordan and Jean Sullivan; and seven first cousins, Deirdra Phelps, Lesia Touchet, Coleman Polk III, Jenene Bracey, Bridget Wood, Adam Jordan and Wendy Dupont.

He was preceded in death by his father, Edward Earl Knight; maternal grandparents, Maude Adams Jordan and Nealy Jefferson Jordan; and paternal grandparents, Dewey Lee Knight and Fannie Knight.
