Ronald M. Neel was born on November 28, 1938 in National, California to Carol and Ruby Neel. He learned and developed the Stucco trade while living in California. He married Mildred Elizabeth Grun, when she made him realize that he didn’t want to live the single life any longer in 1968. They started their life together in Buda, Tx. They quickly finished filling their home with five children. When his wife Mildred passed away, his life was not over. He married Joyce Israel, whom Mildred suggested he consider if he chose to marry again. His children remember him as a firm, but loving father who encouraged them to work hard and dedicate their lives to the Lord.

Ron was accomplished in the field of stucco and often his work was recognized by the best. He was a generous individual who loved God, was passionate about reaching all who needed Jesus. He was an active and dedicated member of the Church and often volunteered at Shepherds Heart and anyone who was in need.

Visitation will be held Saturday, November 14, 2015 from 5-7:00 P.M. at Providence Funeral Home.

A funeral is scheduled for November 15, 2015 3pm at Christ Fellowship, with the burial to follow at Taylor City Cemetery. Pastor Jeff Ripple and Pastor Larry Kelling will officiate the ceremony. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Ron’s life.
