- Paul E. Underwood
Knoxville, TN
Paul E. Underwood, age 82, went to be with his Heavenly Father on December 14, 2017. God saw you getting tired and your stay was not to be. He put His arms around you and whispered "Come with Me". With tear filled eyes we watched you fade. Although we loved you deeply we knew that you could not stay. A gold heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, our hearts were broken but it was God's way of saying He only takes the best.
He will be missed by his loving and devoted wife of 63 years, Linda (Clorinda) Underwood. Daughter and son-in-law, Lisa and Chris Browning. Grandsons Chad and Jake Davis. Sister, Marvin Lane, brother and sister-in-law, David and LaFern Underwood. Sister-in-law, Shannon Lett, brother-in-law, Ed Childress, and many cherished cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
Preceded in death, son, Joseph; father and mother, Omer and Trula Underwood; brother, J.T. Underwood and sister, Ila Ruth Sampson.
Special thanks to Tennessee Cancer Specialists and Smokey Mtn. Hospice.
