Son of Oscar Adolph & Melitta Schulze Kneuper. Husband of Jean Lackey. OBITUARY:Elgin N. Kneuper "Butsy", of New Braunfels , Texas, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, February 1, 2018 at Brookdale Senior Living. He was born to Oscar A. Kneuper and Melita S. Kneuper on February 19, 1926 in New Braunfels. Elgin graduated from New Braunfels High School in 1945 and later attended Draughon's Business College. In 1952, he married the love of his life, Jean Lackey. He was an active member of St. Paul Lutheran Church, serving on the church council, and as an usher. He was also involved with the local Boy Scouts, Troop #133, for many years, serving on the Advancement Committee of the Alamo Area Boy Scouts of America.

Some of his favorite past-time activities were Saturday night dancing, playing cards and dominoes, playing golf, traveling, enjoying music and hunting. His greatest love in life was serving God and spending quality time with his wife and sons. You could not find a more loving and caring person. He would do anything for anybody.
