Sevierville, TN

Kyle Mathias Moroney, age 23 of Sevierville, TN, and formerly of Lenoir City, TN, died Sunday, June 4, 2017 at Mile marker 1 on US 129, Blount County, Tn. Kyle was a Roman Catholic, and was born in St. Louis, MO at St. John's Mercy Medical Center on March 20, 1994 to Wm. Roger and Debra A. Moroney. Kyle and his family moved from Fenton, MO to Lenoir City, TN in 2001 where he initially attended Eaton Elementary and North Middle schools before transferring to St. John Neumann for the 7th grade. Following graduation from St. John Neumann, Kyle attended Knoxville Catholic High School and graduated in the class of 2012. For his freshman year, he participated on the football team, the same year that KCHS won the State Championship. In 2014, Kyle obtained a diploma in Automotive Technology from the Tennessee College of Applied Technology. Kyle was employed by Akard Commutator in Alcoa, TN as an engineering assistant since November 2015. Prior to that, he was a Service Technician at Lenoir City Chrysler Dodge Jeep following graduation from TCAT. Kyle was a very active member of the East Tennessee Z Club, and the Knoxville Car Enthusiasts. He was a frequent attendee at the local Cars & Coffees held around town, as well as the informal car meet ups. There were always friends over at his house, and they spent time working on their cars or just telling stories. He didn't know a stranger and would open his arms to newcomers and make them feel welcome. His smile would light up the room and his laughter was infectious. He was preceded in death by his uncle, James Robert Blentlinger, and great-grandparents on both his mother's and father's side. He is survived by his parents, Wm. Roger and Debra Ann Moroney of Sevierville, TN; grandparents Floyd and Carol Blentlinger of Mt.

Sterling, IL, Ken Blentlinger of Mt. Sterling, IL, Steve Blentlinger of La Grange, IL, and Allin Moroney of Springfield, IL; aunts Lisa Moroney of Crossville, TN, and Jeannie Albrecht of Belvidere, IL and numerous cousins. Kyle had friends from all over the world that shared his love of cars.
