Neal is survived by two children and eight grandchildren. Daughter Amie and her three children Autumn, Blake, and Brock of Sacramento, California and son Jeff and his wife Michelle and their children Maddie, Hayden, Grace, Avery, and Tommy of St Michael, Minnesota.

One of Neal’s greatest passions was following his grandchildren’s sports and academic accomplishments. He was always watching either in person or via online streams and sending texts of encouragement.

Neal worked in the industrial laundry industry for over forty years and established lifelong friendships with many of his co-workers in multiple states. He was always willing to pass on his knowledge of the industry to the next generation.

Neal was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who loved spending time with family and friends golfing, playing card games, and ending the week with Friday night pizza. Neal impacted so many lives for everyone’s betterment through faith, family, and hard work and he will truly be missed.
