Mitchi McKnight Wade, a 44-year-old mother from Columbus, Georgia, was killed in an ATV accident on November 4, 2023, at the Steeplechase event in Pine Mountain, Georgia.
Mitchi is the step-daughter of Marquette McKnight, a former Columbus newscaster and current Muscogee County Educational Foundation official.
The victim’s mother says her daughter worked the Steeplechase event every year.
While on the job, she was delivering items on a four-wheeler.
When she hadn’t been seen for more than a half hour, a search found the ATV flipped over and Mitchi underneath it. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
She leaves behind two daughters, 15 and 19, and a husband.
She received a Bachelor of Science in Management from Georgia Tech in 2000, after graduating from Columbus High School.
