LIMA -- Jon "Aaron" Neuman. Aaron entered the glorious presence of his Heavenly Father December 12, 2025 at his mother's home in Lima, Ohio after a losing battle with melanoma. He was the son of "Jack" Jon L. and Wanda (Harrison) Neuman.

He grew up in Lima, Ohio attending Shawnee High School graduating in 1985. He left Lima to attend Taylor University in Upland, Indiana where he was president of his graduating class making a multitude of memories travelling to Russia, Australia, and backpacking in Europe. He graduated with a degree in Business and Marketing. He obtained an MBA from Ball State University. He worked as a comptroller at his uncle's company Flexible Foam. Unfortunately, he suffered an accident and developed multiple sclerosis. He then started working as a marketing analyst at Crane Pump company.

They enjoyed travelling to Vegas, Florida, and destinations to visit friends and family. They are members of Celebration Church in Blountville, Tennessee with a blessed Bible study group. They tried to stay active with the local MS group. Aaron embraced technology to keep active despite the MS and encouraged others to do so as well. Using his disability as a motivation to be a blessing to all he met, so that they would see the power of Christ shine through him. He used Facebook to minister to others with his daily funnies, incorporating his spiritual beliefs when possible. He always had a positive attitude, trying to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. He loved the Lord, his life, and his family.

I met Aaron in Russia. I was doing studies from Chapman college, Orange, CA. We spent a few hours a few nights talking and making an immediate bond. I was enchanted by his kindness, openness and thoughtful. We stayed a type of pen pals over the years. I liked his jokes on Facebook. I will miss that and have great memories of him to hold and cherish.

Glad I got to meet your wife at our 30th TU reunion. It was the only time I had been back to Indiana since graduation, but you said you had enjoyed many. That´s when I subscribed to your Facebook posts of daily humor. I will be praying for Jeanie and your family. I had no idea, but was sitting here in our home in Washington state, listening to Elevation music as we were grieving the loss of the son of friends of ours. Daniel, only a few years older than our oldest, died of stomach cancer today at 5pm, the same time my friend Karen, who has MS, and I were praying for them. What a day! But we grieve not as the pagans, but as believers in our Savior, who is with us through it all. Aaron is undoubtably with Jesus right now, fully healed, enjoying beyond what we can imagine, just like Daniel. Shalom, my friend. And may the peace of Christ be upon your loved ones.

Aaron was the light of Wengatz Hall and throughout the Taylor Campus. We started in August of 1985. "You were born older George..." from It's a Wonderful Life reflects Aaron well. Aaron seemed to be born "older" with his humility and maturity that reflected in all his interactions as a young man. I was on 3E Wengatz and Aaron on 2nd West. It is my prayer that whatever mansion Aaron has received as his heavenly home that at least we could be on the same floor this time around.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Aaron passing. I just now read it. I will miss his funniest but I'm so glad to have known him from Crane. Fly high Aaron.

I knew Aron from working with his beautiful wife Dr. Mancini. He always came into the office with a smile on his face and always so kind and a joy to be around. He will be missed terribly by all who knew him.

Wanda I am sending my condolences to you. Anyone that knew Arron, loved him. He had a sweet soul. I can´t tell you how many times I told him on Facebook that I would call him when we came to Johnson City. We were so close to him every time we visited our Son and family. We never met up. Something I regret and can´t change. He was a special man.
