My dearest Mickey  We had a wonderful 4th of July 2014   Where has the time gone to. I miss you, I think about you all the time. The grand boys have grown up so much. Chase was playing with his boat and said "I wish PaPa Mickey could see this he'd like it"  The boys are swimming and Chloe is trying to keep up with them. We love it down in the country fresh air and the children are enjoying there baby chicks. We have some wonderful neighbors and God has really blessed us. Ready to see you, my mom, and mother in law all my love Rach

My dearest Mickey  The month of May has been so sad. A lot of tears.  We had a memorial for you on your birthday. You were so special to me and I miss you so much. There have been so many things I wanted you to see. I know your watching from heaven. The grandchildren are growing so fast and there doing so good in school. Im down in the country on our little farm. Everywhere I turn I see you. I just wish, I just wish.......you were here. I Love You. sugar

To my brother in law its been a long year losing you and my mom we miss you deaely but we know well all meet agsin on that happy golden shore till we meet again  love mary beth

Happy Birthday, little brother, I still can't beleive you and Mother are not here. I know you was looking forward to your big 55 birthday , I know you are celebrating in heaven, it doesn't get any better than that. It won't be long and we will be all be together again. I love you and miss you and always will!

Happy Birthday, Mickey. We sure wish you were here so we could send you one of those funny "Obama" cards. You really got a kick out of them!! But we  know your life now is without any of the worries or the cares of this earth, but rather you are celebrating with others that we are missing and meant so much to us.

Rachel, my prayers are with you.  Thankfully your faith is and will get you through and continue to heal the hurt. I was flying a helicopter the other day and thinking of Mickey and how much he loved his R/C hobby.  We miss him too.  God  Bless you.

My dearest love 2012 has been one of the hardest years I've ever had to endure. I sure do miss you. My life will never be the same. I try to keep my hands busy but there are times I go to my quiet place and just cry.  God puts his arm around me and says Rachel  Mickey is with me its ok. The good Lord above gives me the strength to go on. Mickey would say Winners never quit Quitters never win.  If your a child of God  your on the winning side. Your heavenly father owns everything.   To the Neely family and the Allen family "I love you all" Mickey used to say God is the one that holds families together don't let the devil take that away. I was thinking about Mickey on Christmas Day the minute Mickey died his hand touched the hand of God  think of that what an awesome thought. His hand touched the hand of the Almighty God the All Powerful God, the God who created the heavens and earth the God who forgave our sins and saved our souls.  Mickey is in a wonderful place but I still miss him sooo... I Love you Rachel

Mickey, I love you, I know you are with Jesus and Mother, but I miss you both so bad ! I just had to tell you, "I LOVE YOU"

Dear Suger,   I sure do miss you. The 4th of July was so different. Lorita and I went to your grave early, It was so quiet and peaceful the birds were singing and there was a breeze blowing. I brought some beautiful flowers to you.  In the afternoon I missed you flipping burgers and turning steaks, I missed you joking with  Christian and Chase. I missed those facial expressions when you picked up Chloe and looked into her little face in wonder. On the 4th when she said poppy, poppy I had to look away so know one could see the pain on my face. I just wished you could have heard her. She sounded like Tisha when she was a baby. Chad, Tisha  brought you some flowers and Christian brought you an American flag. Our 4th of July ended with some fireworks.  but we know your still celebrating in heaven and it will NEVER end. We love you Rach

Dear POPPY(Papa),
  I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU SO MUCH! Thank you for all the Big Bear Hugs,Squeezes and Kisses in the short 13 months that we knew each other!! They WILL LAST A LIFETIME!! I'm so happy that you got to hear me call you "Poppy" (Papa) before you went to be with Jesus! My Mommy and Daddy gave you 2 of the most awesomest GrandSons EVER (My Brothers) But Mommy and Daddy were able to give one last wonderful surprise with a baby GrandDaughter (ME) I was due on your birthday last year 5/5/2011 but Im glad I came almost a month early, God gave us more PRICELESS time together!!! I LOVE YOU POPPY!  XOXO KISSES, Chloe

Dear Papa,
  I love you! I had alot of fun with you! You were so nice! He is sweet and a good man! I want to hug papa! He always let me fly his helicoptors and even got me my own! Papa is up with Jesus and I will hug you again someday! Love Chase

Rachel and family, my heart goes out to you all. Continue to trust in the Lord. Let your faith and his word guide you thru this difficult time. He will carry you thru!

Dear Papa,
    I know you are up in heaven now but I just wanted to thank you for all the memories we had! I love you and remember all the things we did like fishing at Edisto and playing on the beach. And thank you for the ice creams at the DQ (Dairy Queen.) I had so much fun with the helicoptors and RC monster trucks! I knew you could always fix anything. And I always loved being left handed like you cause you would always show me how to do things left handed, It was always so much harder! I Love you bunches and someday I will see you heaven with Jesus! I Love You so much Papa!  Love, Christian

Mickey will be sorely missed here at Ryder in Greenville, SC. I will( and already do) miss not seeing him in his office or hearing him on his blue tooth! It is hard to believe he will not walk through these doors again. It was a pleasure knowing and working with Mickey. To Mickey's family - my heart goes out to all of you, you are in my thoughts & prayers. Just know he is in the best hands, he is your guardian angel now and one day, you will see him again .

I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words to ease the pain, only the comfort of our Lord. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Mickey,
   First let me say I LOVE YOU. From day 1 you always made me feel welcome and accepted. You were not just a father in law, you were my Dad too. We were so close, you took me in as your Son and I was so blessed to have you in my life as one of my Fathers. I will never forget all of our conversations we have had over the years and how you have helped me and taught me so much. When I needed advice you ALWAYS helped me to make the right decision. When I made mistakes you never judged me or made me feel as though I had failed, You always came through and helped me No Matter What! Plain and simple you made MY LIFE better! Over the past few years we have done so many projects together and every project, from helicoptors, jet skis, broken down trucks to my mowers, you mentored me and I cherish every moment. When Tisha called me all we knew was something happened to Daddy, I came as fast as I could and on the way she called back and said you were gone, I could not breathe, my heart hurts so bad and I miss you so much! I know you are in heaven and one day I WILL see you again, but until then I will ALWAYS cherish the memories, use the advice that you have given me and to the best of my ability I WILL TAKE CARE OF TISHA, RACHEL AND THE KIDS! I LOVE YOU MICKEY! I will never forget our last conversation on the phone, when we went to end the call, I had already said "Goodbye" and right before you said "Bye" you said "I Enjoyed It", I will never forget it! Mickey every moment that we spent together please know "I Enjoyed It." Loved Always Chad

Daddy I miss you so much! You were my rock! You were mommy, me and Chad's rock! I ALWAYS knew you would be there for us, NO MATTER WHAT! I can't imagine being without you and my heart breaks to know that your not with me here on earth! I KNOW your with Jesus and I will see you again, but just like I said about grandma, Im selfish I want you here with us! I know you will still be with us in spirit and you will still be by my side and my guardian angel just like you always were! There wont be a day that goes by without me wanting to talk to you or remembering a special memory. I would need a manual to be able to do and take care of all the things you did for mommy, me, Chad and the babies! But I can't imagine doing things any way different than you, just by the book and the way it should be done... The Right Way! I will follow in your footsteps! Thank You for being so wonderful to Chad! He thought the world of you and loves you dearly! You were his second Dad! Christian, Chase and Chloe Love you so much too and will ALWAYS remember their Papa and all the wonderful fun things you did with them! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU TERRIBLY! I WILL see you again!!! Please be waiting on me at the pearly gates with a hug and kiss! I LOVE YOU DADDY!!!! Love, Sugar

Mickey i'm glad i had the pleasure of working with you the past 6 Yrs.You always had a smile on your face,a great boss and a wonderful friend... You will be greatly missed..My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this difficult time and day's to come...

From all Employee's at Ryder in Wilmington, NC.  We will dearly miss Mickey. My God comfort the Neely family.

I moved next door to Mickey about 5 years ago. He made me feel welcome. He always wore a smile. In the brief period I've known him, I could tell he had a warm heart and a kind soul. I could tell he put others needs ahead of his own. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be missed.

I'm sorry that I can't be there, but you are all in my prayers. I know it's hard, but at least we know we will see him again. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.
Woody Neely, Murfreesboro, TN

What a wonderful brother-in-law, and a great honor to be part of this family. Some people you meet, make your life better. You certainly made my my life better by knowing you. I will miss you greatly.

I am so blessed to have had you as a brother-in-law and a privilege to be a part of this family.  You were always so kind, thoughtful and sensitive to everyone's needs.  You will be missed but such a comfort that we will all be together when Jesus calls us home....your sister-in law

My dearest love, Mickey you were the love of my life. My hero my strength. I loved you and I miss you. I really don't know where to start. Our whole life has been packed full of many wonderful memories. Our families and our work. God gave us so many daily blessings, so many things to be thankful for. We always know Gods hands guided us daily through everything.We know God doesn't make mistakes we may not always understand why, but we always know everthing happens in Gods plan. I love you and we will meet again. Your loving wife, Rachel        John 5:24

Brother, it's a miracle either of us made it to adulthood. I remember all the forts and tree houses we built, the times we came close to killing ourselves or each other. Thank you for sharing Talichia when it looked like I would never have a child of my own. I was looking forward to spending time with you again when we were finally able to put the work and travel behind us. Keep mother company and I will see you soon.

I had the pleasure of working with Mickey for the past 12 years. He was always willing to help, teach and would do so with a smile. I pray that his family finds comfort in the fact that he is in a better place. You will be truly missed Mickey!

My brothers and I grew up with the Neely family in Augusta Acres. He was a wonderful guy who loved to laugh. My sympathy to his family.

We are praying for the entire family.

Uncle Mickey,
I love you and miss you so much. You always greeted me with a smile and a hug, and you would always tell me that you were proud of me. It is the meetings that I will cherish all of my life. Your passing hit me like a ton of bricks, but I know you wouldn't want me to stay stuck on it, but rather would want me to make peace and continue on with my plans. What holds me up is knowing that one day I shall see you again.I miss you and love you.
Love from your niece, 
Sherry Kay

My deepest sympathy go out to the family of Mickey Neely. As a fellow employee he took the time out of his busy schedule to train me and earned my highest respect. May the Lord receive him as a faithful servant knowing one day we will meet again. A true friend in Christ.
                                                                    Dante Chavis and family

Mickey it was great working with you. You always had a smile on your face everytime I seen you. You will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Uncle Mickey,
You were an amazing man. Growing up you always had a smile on your face. I was lucky to call you my uncle and I'm glad we were close. I love you so much, you are dearly missed. 
Love, 
Kayla

Uncle Mickey,
Whenever we met up for family gatherings, you always made it a point to tell me you loved me, were proud of me, and that life will be hard but you have to do what you have to do. And every time, I always needed to always hear that from you. I will miss your hugs and your smiles so much, and your passing has hit me like a ton of bricks. I am so happy to be your niece and I am proud to be a part of this family. You are in a better place now, harassing Grandma and such, and so I know I shouldn't cry so much over you being gone. You would have wanted me to make peace with it and continue with my life, because that is what all Neely boys have told me countless times again and again. I'm trying, Uncle Mickey, and one day I will see you and that lovely smile of yours one day again. 

With so much love,
Sherry Kay

Mickey,
I love you with all my heart, and I am devastated by our loss. You are the best big brother a girl could ever hope for. I am so proud of the man you have become and life will never be the same again without you. The only thing that holds me together is knowing you and Mother are holding hands watching after us now, and I will soon see you again in the kingdom. I love you so much. 

Your little sis,
Donna

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.  We are very sorry for your loss.

I'm saddened to learn of Mickey's passing.  I had the pleasure of working with Mickey for for 7 years and he was without a doubt one of the most positive people I've ever been around.  You'll all be in my thoughts in the coming days and weeks.  I'm sorry for your loss.

Mickey was my R/C helicopter buddy, a fine person, and friend. He made the world a better place. May God give peace and comfort to family and friends during this difficult time.

Donna and family,
We are thinking of you all.  I am sorry for all the loss your family has gone through.   Praying for you all.
Tanner, Terry, Casey and Tyler Gwinn

Mickey, I love you, thank you for being the best little brother any one could ever ask for!!! My life will never be the same with out you!!!!
