Knoxville, TN

Kevin Wayne Schram was born July 2, 1956, and passed into eternal rest on Sunday, June 25, 2017. He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents, his father-in-law William Catlett, and his stepfather, Gil Mills. He is survived by his wife of nearly 37 years, Carole Catlett-Schram; daughter and son-in-law, Katherine and Clinton Blevins; mother, Dixie Mills; father and step-mother, Don and Shirley Schram; mother-in-law, Norma Catlett; sister-in-law and her husband, Barbara and Bill Cooper; nephew, Will Cooper; and a host of beloved extended family, friends, and work associates.

Kevin worked very hard to put himself through college to become a nuclear safety analysis engineer. After earning his degree, he enjoyed a long and fulfilling career, working for several companies in the area including TVA and ORNL. He ultimately started his own business, Schram and Associates, Inc., which made him very proud. After retiring from work, Kevin enjoyed watching UT football and basketball, cooking elaborate meals, and especially spending time with his dog, Cammie, and his two cats, Lucy and Molly. He took Cammie for long walks nearly every day, and it made him happy to make friends with other neighborhood "pups" and their owners. Kevin loved talking to friends, old and new, and telling funny stories and jokes. Kevin was of the Christian faith and took comfort in prayer during hard times.

The family would like to thank Dr. Kenneth Jobson, Dr. Mike Sherrod, and the staff of Fort Sanders and Parkwest Medical Center. A very special thank you to dear family friend, April Stone, and all of Kevin and Carole's wonderful and kind neighbors in Village Green.
