Jeremy Ray Abbott

September 15, 2017

Jeremy Ray Abbott, 32, of Newton was freed from this world to live in peace and happiness on Friday, September 15, 2017. Jeremy was attending Roane County High School when he had a horrific car accident on November 28, 2001. He attended Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Elkview and is now rejoicing in Heaven with his dad, Robin. Before the accident Jeremy was an avid sportsman, loving all of them. He also loved all kinds of hunting. Jeremy was soft-hearted and never knew a stranger. Jeremy was preceded in death by his dad, Robin Abbott; grandfather, Paul Abbott; and aunt, Paula Abbott-LeMasters. Jeremy is survived by his devoted and loving mother and sister, Cyglenda Ramsey Abbott and Christy Abbott (Mark McKown); niece, Krislyn Abbott; nephew, Gaige Abbott; special nieces, Katie Marshall and Hannah McKown; paternal grandmother, Patricia Abbott; and maternal grandparents, Robert and Shirley Ramsey; uncles and aunt, Charles Abbott, Jeff LeMasters, Mark and Sara Ramsey (Lane & Tanner); and a host of Cousins and friends. The family would like to thank his caregivers, Rita Boyd Rucker, Luann Barbagallo, Rob Riser, Rebecca Curtis, and Drs. Joseph Matusic, Jonathan Lilly and Luke Martin, not only for the care of Jeremy but supporting the family as well. The family wants to thank all those that took the time to come and see Jeremy. Locked-n Syndrome is a condition unknown to most, but including him was important. Funeral service will be 2:00 PM Tuesday, September 19, 2017 with Pastor Lee Swor and Pastor Jim Russell officiating at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Elkview, WV. Visitation will be from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM Monday September 18, 2017 also at Mt. Pleasant Church in Elkview, WV. Online condolences may be expressed at maticsfuneralhome.com. In lieu of flowers the family is going to establish a scholarship fund in Jeremy’s memory. An account will be set up at Poca Valley Bank.
