Dr. Quentin Wade Thomas

Dr. Quentin Wade Thomas, age 60, passed away at home on December 14, 2024. A native of Pittsburgh PA, he was son to Lee Gilchrist Thomas and the late Gretchen Miller Thomas. After graduating High School in 1982, Quentin proudly served in the U.S. Army as a specialist (E-4) with the 2nd Infantry Division 2nd Military Police company and was honorably discharged after receiving several medals. Also surviving are his wife Christine Veith Thomas of Greer, a son, Quentin Lee Thomas of Pittsburgh PA, four grandchildren; a brother Lex Thomas; two sisters, Dorinda Bauer and Lucinda Thomas of Pennsylvania; and several nieces and nephews. Quentin held a bachelor’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh prior to moving to SC where he earned his doctorate of Chiropractic from Sherman Chiropractic College. He then went on to start his own practice serving Greer for nearly 25 years. “Q” or Doc, as people liked to call him, excelled at everything he ever got involved with. Some of his hobbies included, golf, body building, training and let’s face it, he could out drink just about anyone under the table with his love of beer. He loved his Pittsburgh Steelers and would always find a place to watch the games if they weren’t shown on local television. Most of all, Quentin was mentor and a loyal friend to everyone. He could engage and interact with anyone no matter their path or destiny. He never judged; instead, he met everyone at their level, offered advice and shared his wisdom. Quentin would always reach out to those less fortunate, give people rides and give himself to those no matter what time of day or night. He made it a point to always be present, not live in the past and never the future. He lived his life in the present at all times allowing his devotion to his patients, friends and family to be invaluable. He will be deeply missed by all and especially by our dog, Pip. Those two shared a unique bond only understood by our creator. God sent Pip to Quentin at the perfect time to help with the unforeseen struggles, the immense pain and help carry us through this difficult journey. A Celebration of Life will be held 5:00 p.m. Monday, April 21, 2025, at The Great Bay Oyster House, 109 East Poinsett Street, Greer, South Carolina 29650.
