Christopher Aaron Posey

March 30, 1979 ~ February 3, 2025

Christopher Aaron Posey, age 45, went home to be with the Lord on February 3, 2025, after a long-challenging battle with pancreatic cancer. He was born in Oneida, Tennessee on March 30, 1979, to Everett and Barbara (Chambers) Posey. He was saved on March 19, 1989, and baptized on April 16, 1989. He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Everett Sr. and Vanie Posey, Hurstle and Leora Chambers (Acres), and step-grandfather Argie Acres.

Aaron attended Farragut High School in Knoxville, received his B.S. in Business Administration from Tusculum University in Knoxville, and continued his education in Naples, Florida at Avé Maria School of Law, became a member of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, obtaining his Juris Doctorate, passing the Tennessee Bar in February 2024, and was sworn in at the Knox County Courthouse as an attorney on August 7, 2024. Three weeks later Aaron was informed that the cancer had spread and began a second round of treatments.

Before changing his career focus to law, Aaron had a love of cars before he started kindergarten which led him to a twenty-year career as a sales consultant, starting with Rodgers Cadillac, both GMC dealerships in Knoxville – Clinton Highway GMC with Meg Rodgers Lonon and Rice on Kingston Pike, to being part owner with Joe Whaley of Quality Auto Sales on North Broadway in Knoxville, and then to Naples with high end luxury brands: Bentley, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, and Maserati.

In addition to his parents, Aaron is survived by his only sister, Candace “Candy” Posey; one niece: Faith Erin Burnette; uncle: Landis Posey and wife, Dixie of Oneida; aunt: Margaret Davis and husband Herbert of Oneida; special great-aunt: Devorah Lovett, whom he dearly loved; uncle: Randy Acres and wife, Sandy of Naples, Florida, and numerous friends and family.

Aaron never met a stranger. He had an extraordinary gift of connecting with everyone he encountered. He was so much more than a few words on paper.

Friends may visit with the Posey family on Saturday, February 8, 2025, from 1:00 pm until time of the funeral service at 2:00 pm in the chapel of West-Murley Funeral Home with Dr. Rocky Smith officiating.

Committal service will follow in the Carson Memorial Park in Oneida, TN.
