According to the post, Knight, who was born on Dec. 6, 1998, was the “beloved daughter of Meegan Hodges and Mark Knight, stepdaughter of Samantha Somers Knight and Slash, sister of Scarlet Knight, stepsister of London and Cash Hudson."
In an obituary, the family called Knight "unforgettable, uninhibited, fearless, vibrant, inquisitive, creative, loving, caring, funny, smart, clever, and beautiful," adding that "Lucy's laughter was contagious, and her smile would light up a room, she loved deeply, and was loved by all."
The obituary continued: "Lucy inspired everyone she met to have the confidence to share their art, to be their authentic selves, and she was a champion for all vulnerable people."
The family asked that instead of flowers, that donations may be made to the National Alliance of Mental Illness.
On July 27, Slash took to Instagram to memorialize his late stepdaughter again and address the grief from her death, writing on Instagram that his "heart is permanently fractured."
"I will never ever stop missing you & remembering what a beacon of happiness, laughter, creativity & beauty you have always been. & still are. The brightest light in the lives of so many that loved you so much," Slash said. "I find solace in the hope that you are at peace now. I will love you eternally."
