Antonio Neece

After bravely battling the complications of cystic fibrosis, Antonio W. Neece II passed away into God's Kingdom on July 16th, 2010. His final days were spent surrounded by family and numerous friends that Antonio had touched in some unique way throughout his very memorable life.

Those whose lives were graced by Antonio understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. His
gentle spirit, thoughtfulness, and loving heart brought so much immense joy to his family and friends. Hearts are broken with his unexpected departure.

Despite all the obstacles he faced, he managed to strive forward with courage, hope, and a splendid sense of humor. He always made time to play video games and watch basketball with his much-loved younger brothers Alex & Blake. Above all, family and friends came first.

Antonio is survived by his loving parents, Patricia Miller & Brian Miller; brothers Alex & Blake; grandparents James & Rosalind Oxford, Bob & Diane Miller, Jerry & Bonnie Whitt; Aunt Tish; Uncle Mark; cousins Damien, Jeff, Katrina, & Kimberly, and countless other loving family members.

Funeral services will be held Thursday, July 22, 2010 at 11:00 AM at Woolwine United Methodist Church with Rev. Sandy Wright officiating. Burial will follow in the Woolwine Cemetery. The family will receive friends Wednesday evening from 5:30 to 7 at Moody Funeral Home in Stuart with a Celebration of Life reception to be held at El Ranchito Restaurant in Stuart immediately following.
