FCHC Grieves with Dr. Stinar and his family over the loss of his son.

Fredericksburg Christian Health Center grieves the death of Theron John Stinar (TJ), the son of our CEO Dr. Stinar. TJ was born on November 18, 2002 and passed away on December 3, 2019 at the age of 17. Friends and family gathered together on December 8, 2019 to say their last goodbyes filling Covenant Funeral entirely and opening up their doors for people standing outside to hear the service. Dr. Stinar and his wife, Katie Stinar, boldly stood at the podium during the service to let everyone know they are doing okay and shared their favorite memories of their son, TJ. The Stinar family showed strength and faith that can only come from God and encouraged all who are suffering from internal pain to seek help.

Loved ones shared the impact TJ had on their lives…

“Theron John was such a sweet loving kid.”

“He always had a bright smile on his face with a laugh that lit up the room.”

“He brought so much joy in my life and could always make you smile on the darkest of days. I knew I could always count on him to be there when I needed someone to talk to.”

“He was always so kind to everyone and he has left an impact on the lives of so many. I will never forget the many fun times we shared. He will be missed by many.”

Dr. Stinar will be taking time off from seeing patients but will continue to lead FCHC staff. He will resume seeing patients towards the end of the year and thanks you for your understanding and condolences.
