The family would like to thank UT Hospice (Katarina, Terri, Jim Carlisle). They would also like to thank Home Helpers of Knoxville & their caregiver, Kim Albain, whom they came to love.

Services will be announced at a later date. 

Pall bearers will be Rodney Archer, Jonathan Bradley, Staniel, Seth, Tristan & Aiden Scott.
