Steve Osborne

Steve Edison Osborne, Sr. Born October 26, 1954, in Nashville, Tennessee. Passed into the presence of God on September 9, 2024. He was an Elder, a choir member and faithful follower of Jesus Christ as a member of First Presbyterian Church of Rockwood. He worked as a firefighter and EMT for the city of Nashville before moving to East Tennessee to work as a firefighter and EMT for TVA Nuclear Plant. After a work injury prevented him from working fulltime, he kept busy with German Shepherd Dogs as a member of the German Shepherd Dog Club of East Tennessee and volunteered and eventually became director of the Food Pantry for Rockwood Ministerial Association. He was a proud member of the Masonic Brotherhood, Lodge #403 in Rockwood, where he had attained the highest-ranking office of Worshipful Master. He enjoyed woodworking and created beautiful things out of wood, including ink pens made from olive wood from Bethlehem that he enjoyed presenting as gifts to some of his favorite people.
