Kevin Jennings Margetts

Knoxville - Kevin Jennings Margetts age 59, "Bunny" passed away suddenly on the evening of 5/21/25 surrounded by loved ones.

Kevin was an avid sportsman, outdoorsman and a gentleman farmer. In his spare time he could be found camping, fishing, hiking or just sitting in a quiet place and enjoying nature. He was an excellent photographer and was able to capture nature in all her infinite glory. Most free weekends, he was hunting for a record buck, convincing wild turkeys that he was lonely, or luring a behemoth, channel catfish from the depths of Ft Loudon Lake. He was able to boat some near records (he called them "kitten fish").

A graduate from Doyle High School, he was always a gifted, first string athlete in every sport that he played. Mischievous, he possessed a quick wit and an easy laugh.

He was graced with the nickname of "Bunny" his entire life. The name was a reference to a set of fleece pajamas that had bunny feet and a fluffy-ball tail (He wore them for days). Hearing his football teammates cheer for "Bunny" as he regularly made open-field tackles always confused the opposing team as his veracity, athleticism and talent did not match the "Bunny" moniker.

He leaves behind his Father Mark Jennings Margetts and his lovely daughters Marilyn Jennings Wilburn (Jordan) and Ella Marie Margetts, he also leaves his brothers Steve André and Brian Margetts and their families of in-laws, out-laws, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his Mother Judith Davis Margetts. He also leaves "Max" the cat. More than anything else, he leaves a hole in all of our hearts as he was a gentle man who was loved by anyone that knew him and that he loved his family without measure.

In lieu of a formal service, Kevin requested that a private service is appropriate and a celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
