Michael Neff Obituary

Michael Gay Neff

October 2, 1967 - June 23, 2025

Fort Worth, Texas - Michael G. Neff, 57, died unexpectedly Monday, June 23, 2025.

An avid pool player and motorcycle enthusiast, Mike was one of those "shirt off his back" guys who would do anything for anyone, no matter the ask. His gentle spirit lives on through those who called him son, brother, uncle, grandson and friend.

He served his community in many ways, including as a Tarrant County Sheriff Department sergeant and helping those in mental health crisis at JPS' Trinity Springs Pavilion as well as in the JPS emergency room. He worked for U-Haul for many years and advanced to manage his own store.

Survivors include his parents Janet and Bill Neff, his brother Vic and sister-in-law Sarah Williams, nephews Trevor and Will and 105-year-old grandmother Dorris Reed.

Donations may be made in his name to wolfhaven.org.

People tend to say this about their loved ones who have passed, but it is undeniably true that Mike was one of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and befriending. There was not a thing he would not do for another person, and I would easily call him the most reliable and selfless person I know. Mike cared so deeply about the people around him, and I tried often to remind him to be kind to himself, too. Mike is a friend who was on my mind often in his final months, and remains that way after his passing, only ever for the positives. He was a wonderful, charming, funny, mischievous, and altruistic man who I'm sure saved countless lives in his own too-short time on earth, and I hope that whatever lies beyond this journey, he is doing well on the other side. Until then, Mike. Rest easy, friend.
