Kevin John Neal

Kevin John Neal passed away on May 15, 2016 at Moses Cone Hospital. He had type I diabetes mellitus from age 3 and suffered many complications. In November 2015, he had four artery bypass surgery and has not been in good health since.

He is survived by his mother, Glenda Shaver Neal; niece, Paige Lane Knight; and his sister Kiristin Neal Ryan and brother-in-law, Thomas Ryan. His father, John Abe Neal, preceded him in death on November 27, 2011.

Kevin was an energetic, fun-loving person who loved spending time with his family and friends. He absolutely loved watching sports, especially the Carolina Tarheel basketball team, with his best friend, Jeff Prevette. He was very compassionate for all people and had a great sense of humor.

He was strong in his faith in God. He grew in his faith from his experience at Greater Piedmont Teen Challenge, and the time he spent with his Stephen’s Minister from JUMC, Rick Wetzel.

He received in bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Management at UNCG. His favorite career was selling furniture at Rose Furniture Company.

Kevin will truly be missed by his family and friends.
