Wyatt Knight, ‘Porky’s’ Actor, Dies from Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound

RIP…thoughts n prayers are with family n frenz.

so sad!

Sorry to hear that, But taking your life isn't the answer to anything.. I'm sorry he wasent able to cope. ive known others who suffered greatly and thought of that, but thank God they were able to somehow pull through until it was thier time to go. please don't think I am knocking him, only stating an opinion. And I do feel sorrow for him and his family ;(.

condolences to family, PORKYS was an AWESOME , old school for jerks movie. GOOD MOVIE,,, GOOD ACTING.

Nang! Can't go that way, guess I'm in for the long haul…Sorry to hear about him going out like that, life is pretty hard to take, pain changes you , I know the feeling RIP.

how very, very sad.But yes….he is in a better and unpainful place.Peace.

Pretty easy to condemn someone when you haven't walked in their shoes. Unless and until you live in excruciating pain you would be better served by not judging others. Those who loved and cared for him probably understand that the quality of life is more important than clutching on a miserable existence.

R.I.P. anf fly with the angels.

Jim B. I am not by no means condeming anyone . and as miserable as it can get, i cannot grasp how to give up under any circumstances. It's a matter of will and my belief in the afterlife and what it means. Do i think a person can be so distraught or in a unbelievable amount of pain to do what he did…yes, but still the question remains…. is it the answer? Life is tough, no one ever told you it was easy, if they did, they lied. I have deep sorrow for this man and his family, but to end your own life is to quit and give up….anything can and do happen and by the trials and tribulations we become worthy of the here after. its just my personal views and im not so shallow that i have to experience something 1st hand to understand it.

Oh and for the record an opinion isnt judgement. To differ on views isnt always a judgement call. with every subject there will always be people who see & understand things differently, judgement is far more harsh than to have a belief or view on something. example… i am anti abortion, but i do not feel i am wise enough to tell another woman what she can do with her own body. My judgements are only for my own behalf and do not apply to others. and im sorry you see what he did as an option, but having been close to others that took that option of taking thier own life, i still can not see it as a way out. look at those kids who did that because of bullies, there were other options. i hope you dont feel i am ripping on you because that is not my intentions. I am a strong believer in life, no matter what comes along.

Donna Lynn Kane Grier : Buddha says "Life is suffering". (I am not a Buddhist) but I have read many books on philosophy and religion. I will be 65 in a couple of weeks and I dare say that I have experienced much more of life than you. (thats just a guess, if I'm wrong I apologize) I have had my triumphs and my defeats that go with life. Your belief in an "afterlife" is little more than an accident of birth. Had you been born in Asia you might believe that taking your own life might be a simple solution to reincarnate. I have been continually amused by the "believers" who view the "afterlife" as this wonderful place with angels, past friends and pets, wonderful weather, beautiful fountains with everyone glowing from happiness. One would think that if you believe that strongly you would want to hasten your arrival instead instead of clinging to a life of incapacitating pain. Just my thought, you are sure welcome to your own.

Donna Lynn Kane Grier : Please read the definition of judgement. I think that you will find that my syntax is correct. Just a minor point.
JUDGEMENT:the ability to judge, make a decision, or form an opinion objectively, authoritatively, and wisely, especially in matters affecting action; good sense; discretion: a man of sound judgment. On second thought my syntax may be incorrect as a belief in an afterlife is certainly not objective, nor provable.

again, you look at it your way and i'll look at it my way. to me its apples and oranges… both fruits… i cannot look at things with a negative undertone and have the will to fight forward. to me suicide is NEVER the way out. so if you are ok with a cop out…. good for you. I dont damn someone for not being able to see something to its natural conclusion and if you feel do…… so be it and at 46 i have been on the edge of sanity and hope and still with will and religion was able to fight my way back. Life is a gift and the afterlife is what you make it. I died when i was 3, i was told that when i recovered i was not the same child, older, wiser and with a understanding way beyond my age. You believe whatever it is that you feel is right, but im telling you at your age and whatever stage of your life you are at…. be sure of something and be ready to end up full circle because the soul survives death… and judgement or opinion at the end of your mortal life you will still have to face the same issues. I do believe i will again see those who passed before me. My Dad died 2/4/11 and know for a fact his grandmother came for him, he told me as i pray he will come for me when it is my time, but if you think death is all wine and roses think again, but i am done with this and will just say i agree to disagree and we wont really know until it is our time. i wish you every happiness and pray neither of us have to make the same choices as the man behind this whole disscussion.

be quiet, donna-ending your life is perfectly acceptable when suffering from a deadly disease-you have no idea what youre talking about

and there probably is no afterlife-be loving and kind in THIS life-thats all that matters

they should have posted the penis in the shower scene-that was this guy's immortality! RIP

No its you who is short sighted, go ahead waste life, im only going to answer for myself anyway. you all talk about judgement and your guilty of your own judgements, your not even bright enough to accept that there are other opinions other than your own, read back einstein…i never once comdemed those who do and only praised those who dont. Hey Dotor death isnt working the trade any longer, looking for work? HA HA HA Grow up and get a clue

he was a legend for guys…the porky's movies gave me so many laughs at a age where everything was not suppose to be funny…take it all seriously…we have to go go go..push push push..be somebody be somebody..dammit you are nobody you failure! you know..high school! these movies saved a rejects life! mine! thanks wyatt knight for the work you left behind…God bless..r.i.p.

Jim Buckley I don't believe they are condemning Wyatt. I was also brought up to believe suicide is a sin. Only Wyatt and God knows what happened after he passed. I think this is so so sad and thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends.

Dee Jamacek : Well at least Wyatt will know or not.

Norman Dostal however, you DON"T know for sure if there is no afterlife, you said there probably isn't. I was brought up to believe suicide is a sin BUT only Wyatt and God knows what happened after he passed. However, if you don't believe in God or an afterlife, that's your decision. I am not here to tell people to shut up and argue about beliefs. It's so so sad anyway.

Donna Lynn Kane Grier : Here's a little quote from Einstein that probably pertains you and a few other posters "I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own — a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms."

Dude, dont you get it by now? Sit back and follow whatever ideals and beliefs you wish and let me have mine. I dont give a rats hairy behind what others believe, i follow what feels right to me, quote Einstein or Bozo the clown, makes no ripples in my pond. I respect your views, i just dont share them. Thank God we live where its ok to think and be different.

Dee you are so right, if you read back, i felt attacked for being a Christian and commenting on something i felt such saddness about. I also worry about those who are at the point in life and pray they find the strenght to carry on until a natural conclusion, not once did i attack those people who commit susisd

Sorry finger slip those who take thier life.

I was fortunate enough to work with Wyatt on one of the Porky's movies. He was a very sweet guy and I'm sad for his passing.
