Joseph Warren Quetsch

January 17, 1992 — August 19, 2014

Abingdon, VA Joseph Warren Quetsch, age 22, passed away Tuesday, August 19, 2014. He was born January 17, 1992, and was a lifelong resident of Abingdon. Joe graduated from Abingdon High School in 2010 where he played football. He was known as a hard worker and a great teammate. Joe was a thoughtful and faithful friend, student and family member; he was a big guy with an even bigger heart. He had worked in his family’s business, Abingdon Cleaners and Launderers, since he was in the eighth grade and had a good relationship with his co-workers. Joe was a good communicator and a straight-shooter. Most importantly, he was the finest son – respectful and loving. Joseph was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ernest and Susie Warren, and John R. Quetsch. He is survived by his parents, Paul and Donna Warren Quetsch of Abingdon; grandmother, Mary F. Quetsch of McLean, VA; uncles: John Quetsch, Larry Quetsch, Joseph Quetsch, James Quetsch, Rodney Warren, Fred Warren and Jim Warren; aunts: Wanda Porter, Betty Corbitt, Patricia Banner, Eileen Myers, Martha Kiesel and Mary Gaetjen; and a host of cousins. The funeral service for Joseph Quetsch will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 23, 2014, at Abingdon Bible Church (16210 Elementary Dr, Abingdon, VA 24210) with Rev. Greg Alderman officiating. Burial will follow at Forest Hills Memory Gardens, where pallbearers will be family members. The family will receive friends on Friday, August 22, from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at Abingdon Bible Church. Due to remodeling at the family’s home, friends and family will be gathering at the home of Joseph’s aunt and uncle, Wanda and Art Porter, 819 Panacella Drive, Abingdon, VA.
