On Wednesday, February 14, Blount County Sheriff’s Deputy Greg McCowan will be laid to rest. The funeral is scheduled for 1 pm at Sevier Heights Baptist Church, 3140 Maloney Road, Knoxville. Following the funeral, which we anticipate will end between 2:30 and 3 pm, there will be a funeral procession from Sevier Heights Baptist Church to Grandview Cemetery at 2304 Tuckaleechee Pike in Maryville. The procession will take Alcoa Highway southbound to Hall Road in Blount County, and then to Tuckaleechee Pike in Maryville and end at Grandview Cemetery. As you may expect, the funeral processional will be quite long. Please anticipate delays on Alcoa Highway and the remaining route to the cemetery. Please look at the map below to see the exact route.
If you choose to pay your respects to Deputy McCowan and his family by standing along the procession route, please choose a safe area away from traffic.
Sheriff James Lee Berrong would like to thank you for your patience, support, and condolences.
