Greg Hoskins, a respected retiree of the Knoxville Police Department, passed away peacefully on February 23, 2026, at the age of 66 in his beloved hometown of Knoxville. Born on November 18, 1959, Greg dedicated over 30 years of his life to the service of his community as a distinguished officer with the Knoxville Police Department. His commitment to law enforcement was profound, evidenced by the many accolades he received throughout his decorated career.

Greg graduated from Karns High School and furthered his education by obtaining a bachelor's degree from East Tennessee State University. He honed his skills at the FBI Academy, where he received invaluable training that shaped him into the remarkable officer he was known to be.

Tilda Ann Rutherford

Tilda Ann Rutherford, age 75 of Knoxville, TN, wen to be with Jesus on Monday, February 2, 2026. Tilda was a beautiful lady whose life was marked by generosity, faith, joy, and unconditional love. A devoted, Spirit-filled woman of God who loved the Lord deeply, she lived her life as a testimony of His grace. We rejoice in knowing she is at peace in the presence of her Savior.

She cherished her First Apostolic Church family. Her sweet spirit and positive heart never faded as she faithfully served and encouraged those around her.

Tilda loved her extended family and friends deeply and stayed closely connected to them through the years. Many have remembered her as a “ray of sunshine” and a “bright light.” She was a caretaker by nature, helping raise kids as a “second mom.” She was a faithful church sister who greeted people at the door with warmth, a smile, and a feisty joke. She was a lifelong friend to some— from childhood through adulthood. She was a loyal and loving companion.

Being a mom was the most important role in her life. Her girls meant the world to her and her love for them was constant. She especially treasured being a Grama- her grandkids had her heart! She delighted in time spent with them and always celebrated their milestones and cheered them on.

She is lovingly survived by her daughters, Kimberly Powell (Harrison), Kerri Taylor (Shannon), and Kelly Rutherford; her cherished grandchildren, Megan Weaver, Noah Shaw, Katie and SiSi Powell, Frankie Furtado, Emma and Caleb Taylor; her beloved brother, David Maner (Robin); her life partner, Darrell Keeney; many dear nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family; and sweet friend and roommate, Sherry Duncan, who shared her days and brought Tilda comfort until the end.

Tilda mattered to so many people across decades and through many seasons of life. She knew she was loved, and you were all a part of that. This is her legacy— faith, compassion, laughter, and love— and memories that will live on in every life she touched. Heaven is richer for having her.

Tilda's family will receive friends on Monday, February 16, 2026 from 5:00pm - 7:00pm at First Apostolic Church of Knoxville. Her funeral service will begin at 7:00pm with Rev. Mark McCool officiating. Graveside service and interment will be held on Tuesday, February 17, 2026 at Lynnhurst Cemetery, 2300 Adair Drive, Knoxville, TN at 11:00am.

Jones Mortuary in Clinton, TN is honored to serve the Rutherford family.

Alvis Albert "Junior" Lowe II

Alvis Albert “Junior” Lowe, age 58, was born in Gary, Indiana and was a lifelong resident of Clinton, Tennessee. He passed away peacefully at his home on Thursday afternoon, January 29, 2026.

He was the beloved son of the late Alvis Albert Lowe and Nancy Helen Lowe. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Jimmy Lowe, Paul Lowe, Leslie Lowe, and J.R. Lowe, as well as his cherished son-in-law, Travis Garner.

Junior was united in marriage to Denise Gail Stepp on May 2, 2000, who survives him. He is also survived by his devoted sister, Theresa Ann Lowe of Claxton, Tennessee; his loving children, Alvis Albert Lowe III (Holly) of Clinton, Tennessee, Nancy Helen Jones (Andrew) of Berne, Indiana, and Jimmie Theresa Ann Lowe of Clinton, Tennessee; and his six treasured grandsons, Riley James Garner Lowe, Cooper Alan Lowe, Jayden Albert Jones, Jackson Gentry Lowe, Kyler Michael Allen Jones, and Ryker Andrew Jones.

He is further survived by special nephews, Michael Giles (Kelly) of Rocky Top, Tennessee and Terry Giles of Clinton, Tennessee; a beloved niece, Miranda Giles of Claxton, Tennessee; his lifelong friend, Shelly Case of Clinton, Tennessee; and several additional nieces and nephews.

Junior found his greatest joy in spending time with his grandsons, whether playing football and baseball in the yard or sharing moments together at home. He enjoyed watching classic westerns such as Gunsmoke and Bonanza, was a devoted Tennessee Volunteers supporter, and proudly followed the Indiana Hoosiers, celebrating their championship season this year. Known throughout Clinton for his kind spirit, Junior spent more than twenty years walking its streets, forming friendships with countless people and offering help whenever he saw someone in need. He worked faithfully through his church to provide meals to the homeless and was known for his generosity, often giving the shirt off his back to those who were struggling.

Before a car accident in 1988 changed the course of his life, Junior had shown great promise as a baseball player, a talent he carried with pride throughout his years.

In accordance with his wishes, Junior will be cremated. Family will receive friends on Friday, February 13, 2026, from 6:00-7:00 p.m. with a Celebration of Life service following at 7:00 p.m. at Pleasant View Baptist Church in Clinton, Tennessee.

This summer, his remains will be laid to rest on Graves Gap Mountain beside his mother, as he had requested.
