Longtime Crossville media consultant/publisher Don Napier has passed at 74 from complications of Parkinson’s Disease.

Don came to Crossville in 1986 from Celina Tennessee. He worked as at the Crossville Chronicle before starting his own media rep business Napier Media Services.

Don has been involved in the founding and managing of many publications since 1976, when he established a newspaper in his hometown of Celina. “Crossville Life,” originally known as “House & Home ” magazine, is his latest print venture.

In addition to being an editor or publisher for various publications, Don has been a staff member of multiple daily or semi-weekly newspapers, and has been a correspondent for larger metropolitan dailies. The main focus of his past 20 years has been advertising and public relations, and he and his wife Natalie were the owners of Napier Media Services, a full-service PR and media relations firm.
