Steven Lee Crain

Steven Lee Crain, 60, of Bartlett, TN, died February 3, 2024 after a short illness. He is survived by his wife of more than three decades, Kimberly Walker Crain, his daughter, Hannah Crain, and his son, Walker Crain. He was the son of Byron and Virginia Crain of Germantown, TN, and brother of Christopher Crain of Washington, DC; he was preceded in death by his sister, Elizabeth Crain Clark.

Steve was born in Little Rock, AR, and graduated from Germantown High School (1981) and the University of Memphis (1985). His entire professional career was devoted to two local TV stations. For the last 11 years, Steve has been Director of Integrated Media for WREG-TV and later Nexstar Media Group, Inc (WREG-TV / WJKT). Previously, Steve worked for almost 30 years at WMC-TV, first in the news operation as News Operations Manager, Executive Producer, and Managing Editor, and then for 10 years as the station's Internet Sales Director.

Steve was an enthusiastic supporter of the Scouting movement, participating in various adult leadership roles including Assistant Scoutmaster for Troops 368 and 64 of the Chickasaw Council of the Memphis Area. He attended the full week of summer camp at Kia Kima Scout Reservation five times and was immensely proud that his son achieved the rank of Eagle, as Steve had many years earlier. Plans for services are incomplete at this time. In lieu of flowers, donations to the National Park Foundation may be made.
