Steve was born on April 6th, 1950, in Knoxville, TN, to George and Mattie Knight. He went on to join the army and served from February 28th, 1969, until January 29th, 1972, in Vietnam.
His passion was singing gospel music as a soloist through his ministry called 'Continuous Praise'. Steve enjoyed collecting vintage antiques and was an avid lover of coffee. He was a very organized man, and he loved all 9 of his kids and all his grandkids.
Steve was preceded in death by his father, George Knight; mother, Mattie Knight; sisters, Georgetta Warwick, Pat Maynard, and Florence Vance; and brothers, Jerry Knight and Ralph Knight.
He is survived by his daughter, Stephanie Sunley; son, Christopher "Chris" Knight; granddaughters, Lyric Sunley and Macie Belle Jones; grandson, Christopher Knight Jr; brother, Larry Knight; and a host of nieces and nephews.
The family would like to extend gratitude to everyone who showed up and that walked them through this as well as Rick for officiating his service.
Funeral Services will be held on Thursday, March 19th, 2026, at East TN State Veterans Cemetery (2200 E. Governor Sevier Hwy, Knoxville, TN 37920) at 10:00 AM. Steve will receive full military honors.
