d. April 4, 2011

Charles Gabriel Neitch, 20, affectionately known as "Big Gabe" passed away Monday, April 4, 2011 at his home after a 16 month courageous battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He was surrounded by his family and friends.

He is preceded in death by his great grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. John Chew, Victor Neitch, Carl Rowland; maternal grandmother, Louisa Chew Wolfe; paternal grandparents, Frances and Jimmy Neitch and his beloved brother, Travis Edwin Greer.

Gabe was lucky enough to have two sets of parents, Ruth and Tim Neitch and Chuck and Joyce Neitch. Gabriel has a multitude of wonderful aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews too numerous to mention but they know they were in his heart.

The family would also like to express heartfelt thanks to all the staff at St. Jude Children's Hospital facilities in Johnson City and Memphis, TN for all their personalized and concerned care throughout Gabriel's illness.

Also, a very special thanks to his hospice nurse, Renee Cox, R.N., who treated Gabriel as she would her own son.
