I hate the article - it's so full of POV stuff praising St. Jude's Hospital and criticizing his medical care from others. It really, really needs a rewrite, as well as more citations that are from independent sources (as noted by nominator, most are to St. Jude's or to the memorial page). But the notability is clearly there. He was featured on several TV shows. There is an annual 5K race for kids named after him http://www.iplayoutside.com/Events/?eid=2005/07/7018r. There is even a stretch of West Virginia Route 193|state highway named for the kid. Bottom line, his notability has spread way beyond . The article needs a lot of cleanup, but AfD is not cleanup, and the subject is clearly notable
