John C. Neubauer, 68, of Indianapolis, Indiana, passed away on March 1, 2026. He was born on September 14, 1957, in Indianapolis to the late John G. and Naomi D. (Miller) Neubauer.

John spent his life in the Indianapolis area and was known for his easygoing nature and the simple joys that meant the most to him. His happy place was at home with his loving wife, Cindy. He often said it was simply "you and me, babe," a phrase that reflected the deep bond and companionship they shared throughout their nearly 31 years of marriage.

John was a devoted fan of the Indianapolis Colts and enjoyed cheering on his team every chance he got. He also valued the friendships he built throughout his life. He enjoyed going out with "the guys" for target shooting and sharing good times together. One of his favorite traditions was meeting friends for their regular "old man's breakfast," where stories, laughter, and friendship were always on the menu.

He worked as a delivery driver for Car Quest in Franklin, where he was known as a dependable and hardworking employee. John took pride in his work and in the relationships he built with coworkers and customers over the years.

He is survived by his loving wife, Cindy J. (Everling) Neubauer; his children, Neil (Tina) Marsh, Jim (Jana) Neubauer, Joni (Kyle) White, Stefanie Jenkinson, and Ryan (Erin) Jenkinson; nine grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings, Jerry Myer, Marilyn Henegen, and Kathy Harding.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Mikki Sanders.

John will be remembered for his loyalty to his family and friends, his love of home, and the quiet, steady presence he brought to those around him. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
