"(The person) to whom I owe the biggest gratitude" is the relative clause.

Relative clauses are used to attach an information onto someone or something. In other words, they tell us something in relation to a subject, hence the term "relative clause."

They are introduced by relative pronouns, such as:

  • who, whom, to whom, or whose for people
  • which, to which, or whose for things
  • that for people or things, if you want to be less formal.

In this sentence, the clause "to whom I owe the biggest gratitude" gives an information about "my Papaw."
