Justin A. Knebel grew up in Warroad, Minn., graduating from Warroad High School in 2001. A talented athlete, Justin lettered in basketball, cross country, and track. He was named All-Conference in basketball as a junior and senior while serving as the team’s captain. As a senior, he was All-Conference in cross country and served as captain of both the cross country and track teams that year.

After graduation, Justin attended the University of Minnesota, Crookston where he played basketball as a point guard for the Golden Eagles. Head Basketball Coach Jeff Oseth describes Justin as the ultimate team player working hard on the court and in the classroom. He excelled both athletically and academically.

In the fall of 2002, Justin became ill and was unable to participate with the team in conditioning but eventually was cleared to resume activity by his doctor. He was only 19 years old, but Justin had already distinguished himself among his peers as a talented and valuable teammate. The evening before the first official practice was to begin, Justin passed away unexpectedly from complications but left behind a legacy of dedication, determination, and a drive to excel.

The inaugural Justin Knebel Memorial Ice Fishing Tournament, held in February 2011, honors Justin’s love of the Warroad area and his passion for outdoor sports in Minnesota. All proceeds from the tournament support the Justin Knebel Memorial Scholarship Fund benefiting students at the University of Minnesota, Crookston.
