And, of course, a few very special messages from Knight’s on/off girlfriend, Jemmye.

The Real World and The Challenge won’t be the same without Knight and, as you can see, so many will miss him. This was the second big blow to the MTV family. The Challenge star Diem Brown passed away less than two weeks ago after her third battle with cancer. As previously reported by the Inquisitr , Brown had been dating Chris “CT” Tamburello , who was on The Real World Paris as well as The Challenge . He proposed to Diem just days before she passed away.
