Don Knotts made America laugh as the lovable Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show, even while quietly battling lifelong anxieties. From a tough childhood in West Virginia to serving in WWII, he turned hardship into humor, earning five Emmys and a lasting place in TV history. When he passed in 2006 at 81, he left behind more than laughs—his statue in Morgantown honors a man who showed that vulnerability can be a source of joy.
