Comedian Tony Knight, 54, tragically died last month after a tree limb fell on him at the Rock & Cars festival in Lavaur, France. A family member told Fox News Digital that the accident injured only Tony, despite the presence of other festival-goers. Known for his humor and passion, Tony’s passing shocked his loved ones, including his longtime partner, Hayley Wright, and fans worldwide.
Friends and admirers shared their sorrow on social media, remembering his gift for bringing joy. Hayley has since launched a GoFundMe page to support funeral expenses, raising over $8,000 of the $20,000 goal. Tony, a dedicated dog lover, was planning a UK comedy tour and teaching canine communication classes in Europe before his untimely death. He lived with Hayley on her family’s farm in Beaufort and was beloved by many for his kindness and humor.
