O’Neal had a deep love for family gatherings, fishing, camping, boating, restoring old cars and attending car shows whenever possible. He took great pride in his work, always having a project on hand. Whether he was making a beautiful home for his wife and children or working on his next big idea, he poured his heart into everything he did. His love for the water, boating, and simply being near it was one of his greatest pleasures.

A man of strength and determination, O’Neal instilled the values of hard work and resilience in those around him. He was always ready to lend a hand, though anyone who knew him well understood that his famous phrase—“It will only take five minutes”—meant you were in for much more than that.

O’Neal will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. His legacy of love, dedication, and hard work will live on through his family and the countless lives he touched.
