Kerry Dean Neal, born April 5, 1955, passed away on April 26, 2026. Kerry was born in Clay, West Virginia, and came from a family of eight children to Virginia Neal James. He was a carpenter by trade. He loved life, old cars, and working on them all the time.

Kerry worked at the NAS base, where he made some close friends. He was always willing to teach others anything he knew and was always ready to lend a hand. If you could not fix something, Kerry could find a way. He could be a little tough on people at times, but he had a good heart.

He loved all of the animals he had, and he loved his family dearly, including all of his nieces and nephews. He had many of them, and they could surely tell you stories about Uncle Kerry. He is survived by his wife, Patricia Neal, his daughter Tesha, his son Kerry Jr., as well as Loretta, Carolyn, Diane, and his brother Edward.

We will all miss him so much, and he will always remain in our hearts. One day, we will meet you on the other side.

Your loving family.
