Nethery Christy Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Faries Funeral Directors and Crematorium, Inc. on Jan. 18, 2026.
Banner Nethery Christy, Jr. entered his heavenly home on January 15, 2026, just three days shy of his 85th birthday.

Banner will be remembered for his gentle spirit, his willingness to work hard and do the job right, and his kindness.

Ocean City, NJ was one of his favorite places. He vacationed there every year, where he loved riding the waves and walking the boardwalk. Dad loved to take long walks and to ride his bike. He always seemed to find a coin, a bill, or some kind of treasure on these outings. He also enjoyed visiting antique car shows, and could tell you the make, model, and year of the cars.

Banner is survived by his wife of fifty-eight years, Sue Anne, as well as by his three daughters, Jill, Rachel, and Julie, eleven grandchildren, and one great grandchild.

"Well done, good and faithful servant…Enter into the joy of your master." Matthew 25:21
