Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 24, 2004.
MC NEEL On the morning of September 24, 2004, after a long and courageous battle with cancer, the Lord called Ian Abbey McNeel of Boerne to his eternal reward. He was born on August 7, 1958 in San Antonio, Texas, the son of Albert and June McNeel. Ian was an Eagle Scout and was awarded the Order of the Arrow. His joy in life was spending time as an avid outdoor enthusiast, loving hunting and fishing. Ian graduated from Alamo Heights High School in 1976, and then graduated from Texas A&M University in 1983. Upon graduation from Texas A&M, Ian worked as a real estate appraiser in San Antonio, and founded McNeel, Weissler & Associates real estate appraisers in 2000. Ian was a Member of the Appraisal Institute, where he served on the board of directors. In 1993, Ian married the love of his life, Kay Sterner. He has two children who were the greatest blessings in his life, Courtney and Connor. Ian is survived by his wife, Kay; children, Courtney and Connor; father and mother, Albert and Ita McNeel; sisters, Shelby McNeel Miller of San Antonio and Ilse Hummel and her husband, P.J. of Boerne; sisters-in-law, Jane Everett and husband, Zane of Bandera, and Debbie Lee of Brownwood; brother-in-law, Keith Sterner of Dangerfield; mother-in-law, Dorothy Sterner of San Saba, several aunts and uncles, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends. The family would like to express special thanks to Dr. Ronald Drengler of CTRC and his nurses, Gail and Stacy, who supported Ian and his family through many difficult times.
