Donny Griffeth, age 67 of Maryville went to be with the Lord on December 6th after a short battle with cancer.
Donny was a member of Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church. As a car salesman for over 30 years, he was able to make his passion for cars and wheeling & dealing into his profession.
He never met a stranger or someone who he couldn’t talk into buying or selling something to. When he wasn’t making a deal, he enjoyed the calming of the Smoky Mountains. Donny greatly loved his kids, grandkids, family, and friends. He will be missed by many.
