Paul Scott Little

Little, Paul Scott - age 76 of Knoxville, passed away peacefully at his home and entered the presence of the Lord on Friday, February 6, 2026. He was proceeded in death by his parents, Paul Eugene Little and Clarice Lynch Little. He is survived by his children, Amy Dobbins (Chad) and Jason Little (Heather); grandson, Landon Dobbins; brother, Phil Little (Kathy), sister, Rosemary Little Thomas; cousins, Doug Little (Lana), Beverly Harding (Keith); and nieces and nephews, Shea Kopelman (Justin), Joy Neely (David) and Matthew Thomas (Brandi). He was also a very special part of the Williams family. Scotty was a member of Sevier Heights Baptist Church and participated in the Adult Choir. He loved to sing and harmonize, and was "discovered" by his high school chorus Director, Harold Mays, when he was a senior. He sang in the Mens Octet as well as the Mixed Chorus Ensemble. He was a member of several vocal groups during his life; Fudge Sunday, The Heirmen and Knoxville Vox, and was still active in the South High Alumni Mens Octet. His gifted voice was always appreciated as he was one of very few able to reach those high tenor notes. Scotty was very successful in the line of work he chose. He followed his father's footsteps and was an excellent businessman in the wholesale tire industry. He owned and managed several wholesale tire distribution stores, winning many national awards for his outstanding sales achievements, while building countless lifelong friendships along the way. Scotty was a lover of sports and helped coach many of his son's childhood teams. He was an avid Tennessee fan and could always be found in Section X5, Row 5, of Neyland Stadium, cheering on his beloved Volunteers. When he wasn’t watching sports on television, you would find him tuned into a John Wayne movie that he had never seen too many times. Friends are invited to a Celebration of Life Service officiated by Chuck Sayne, on February 14 at 1:00 PM at Rose Mortuary Chapel, located at 1421 N. Broadway Knoxville, TN 37917. A private family graveside gathering will follow the Celebration of Life Service at Woodlawn Cemetery.
