Wes Neal

Wes Neal, 51, DePere, passed away unexpectedly on September 12, 2011, while on business in the Netherlands. He was born on December 25, 1959, in Milwaukee, WI. The love of his life since the age of 19 was his wife, Amy. For the past 31 years they did everything together and were each other’s best friend. Wes’ greatest legacy is the loving life he created with his wife Amy and their three boys. Wes enjoyed remodeling projects with Noah, was proud working side by side with Jacob at Mondi and loved playing catch with Mack. He adored his new granddaughter, Amber Grace and spent time reading and playing with her every chance he got. Wes served his country in the United States Navy for nine years and was currently working for Mondi Akrosil, LLC. Wes had a great work ethic, drive, and determination and was a man of honesty and integrity. He had a competitive spirit with golf, bean bag toss, and well, everything else. He enjoyed golfing with his sons and best friend, Bob Pointer and also loved watching Packer games. Wes also enjoyed deer hunting every fall with his brother Tim and nephews Adam and Ryan and sons Jacob and Mack. Wes, Amy and the boys also made many memories on their vacations with the Pointer Family. Wes was very resourceful, and there was nothing he couldn’t fix.
