Mr. Gilley, 67, passed away Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at his home. 


He was born in Milan, TN to the late Billy and Margie (Smith) Gilley. He worked the majority of his career at Ceco and later retired from Graves Chevrolet. He enjoyed watching all Tennessee sports, NASCAR, and the little league world series. If you couldn’t find him during his weekly trips to Walmart, Ollies, Harbor Freight, and Ruler Foods, he was probably out getting a burger with the gang. His love of visiting car shows in his classic Pontiac was only surpassed by making weekend river runs all summer with his family and especially his granddaughters.


He was preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Jackie, Donna, and Anita.


Steve is survived by his wife of 45 years, Kim (Hatcher) Gilley; son, Stephen Gilley and wife Anisha; grandchildren, Raelyn, Harper, and Rose.
