Steve Michael Thomas

Steve Thomas was born June 14, 1982, in Knoxville, Tennessee, and passed away Thursday, July 11, 2024. He and Melissa were married on September 18, 2018, at a Florida beach wedding. They are the parents of four-year-old Connor and two-month-old Kennedy. He was so proud to be their dad and spent every minute he could with them. He played cars, hide and seek, and policeman with Connor any time Connor wanted to play. Steve built Connor a massive swing set where he and Connor would have "boy time" when Steve came home from work. He was absolutely in love with his children and ecstatic when Melissa gave birth to his daughter Kennedy. Steve was of the Baptist faith and led an outstanding Christian life every day.
Steve and Melissa had their dream house built just a few years ago and they were truly grateful for their wonderful home. Together they accomplished a masterpiece and shared it with family and friends.
Steve graduated from Bearden High School in 2000 and was accepted into Tennessee Tech University on an academic scholarship. Obtaining a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in 2004 he began his career in information technology. He loved his work at Children's Hospital helping others with his computer skills and solving problems. He was a big orange fan and attended as many football and baseball games as he could. If he could not attend and the game was on television he was watching it.
Steve was the son of Wen and Denise Thomas and brother to Shawn Thomas and Jennifer Spar. He was loved immensely by his family and he is missed.
Family and friends will meet at Edgewood Cemetery on Tuesday, July 16 for a graveside service beginning at 10:00 am, Reverend Mark Moreland will be officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to East Tennessee Children's Hospital Development Department in honor of Steve Thomas.
