Tommy Neitsch

Tommy attended Texas A&M, St. Phillips College, International Bible College, and obtained his Texas realtor's license. He married his best friend and working partner Kay Ruddock in 1971. Tommy gave his life to Jesus Christ in 1980. Jesus touched Tommy's heart and he became a lover of God's Word, teaching, preaching, and directing people toward a life of prosperity in Jesus Christ. Tommy's famous saying: "If you cannot walk it, don't talk it." He was known for his integrity. A man of his word, handshakes were contracts.

He was an assistant pastor for a total of 20 years. When Tommy and Kay moved to San Antonio, Texas, he could see the future of the health care needs. Using God's words and principles in his business endeavors, he opened and sold several medical companies including USA Nursing Staffing Agency and TK Medical. Tommy has a nice collection of white tail trophies to which he added two ten pointers this past season. He loved crawling up mountains in Colorado for the great Elk. He loved the great outdoors. Tommy currently worked at Speedway Builders and on his desk he left behind blueprints of the last church he was currently planning to build.

God helped him build many churches in San Antonio. He was an elder of Friendship Church and Cell Group teacher, and of course a member of the NRA. He built his home on ten acres right outside of San Antonio. The trail Tommy blazes now is to assist the return of Jesus Christ, where he will be on a horse right alongside his dear Lord and Savior.

He was preceded in death by a sister, Sue Bell. Survivors include his wife, Kay Neitsch; two children, Brandi Smith and her husband David, and Brian Neitsch and his wife Laura; 6 grandchildren, Caleb, Madison, Regan, Brian Jr., Nathan, and Kaytlynn; and a sister, Dixie Walden; nephews Garrett and Josh; and niece Courtney.
