Clarence Michael "Mike" Posey

Clarence Michael (Mike) Posey, 53, formerly of Clinton, always from Knoxville, TN., left this world Saturday, July 10th @ 4:45 p.m. after a long, brave battle with cancer.  Michael was a life-long car enthusiast, from building model cars as a boy to learning the vocation at Fulton High School and continuing on to be a fantastic mechanic that was counted on by many.

Michael is preceded in death by his father, James David Posey, Sr.; grandparents: Clarence and Ruby Posey and E.G. and Betty Sharp; nephew Davey; cousin/brother Jackie; Uncles: Jack, Johnny and Danny Posey; Aunts: Betty Sue, Janie, Brenda and Wanda; Brother-in-laws James Kear and Bruce Freeman, many cousins and friends.

He leaves to mourn: sons Bryson James and Michael Nicholas, the very essence of his life. Mother Judith Sharp-Posey, siblings Etta Kear, James (Bubba) Posey and Buffy Freeman. Aunts: Ocie Talbott, Diane Burkhart and Glenda DePew. Uncles: Hank, Johnny, Dennis and Steve Sharp. Nieces and nephews: Danielle, Dylan, Emily, Benny and Haylee. We thank the cousins that were able to help us during this very difficult time: Johnny Rhodes, Ronnie Rhodes, Lesley Ferguson, and Beth Sharp. Special friend, Cheryl Truax, that was able to comfort him in his final days.

A receiving of friends and memorial service will be Saturday, July, 17, 2021 from 5 p.m.-7 p.m., Pastor Danny Scates officiating at Glen Oaks Missionary Baptist in Knoxville, TN.

Gentry Griffey Funeral Chapel is honored to serve the Posey family and invites you to view and sign the online registry.
