John Neighbors Obituary
John Edward Neighbors, born on March 26, 1966, in Harnett County, North Carolina, passed away at home in Dunn, North Carolina, on November 22, 2025. He was a man of profound faith whose belief in the Lord sustained him through life’s many challenges.

John possessed a deep love for the outdoors, and one of his favorite pastimes was fishing, where he found peace and joy in nature’s tranquility. He also had a great appreciation for good food, sharing meals and making memories with friends and family. His warmth and kindness made him a beloved figure among those who knew him, especially within his close spiritual family.
He is survived by his sister, Cathy Lee Neighbors Battle, and her husband, Greg. Additionally, he leaves behind his Uncle Thomas Edward Hodges and his wife, Jan, as well as cousins Mickey Hodges and his wife, Stacy, and Thomma Elizabeth Hodges Kufchak and husband, Joe along with Katie Thomas Hodges.
