Neil Wallace, 75, of Junction City, Kansas passed away on November 7, 2024, in his home. Cremation has taken place and he will be brought back to his beloved home.
Neil was born on November 4, 1949, to Robert and Elizabeth Wallace in Glasgow, Scotland. He came to the United States with his parents when he was very young, never developing his Scottish accent.
He graduated from high school in 1967, enlisting into the United States Army soon after. Neil served his country honorably for six years.
After his enlistment years in the Army, he went on to Kansas State University earning a Bachelor's Degree in Microbiology. Animal science was Neil's passion. This passion allowed him to find a career at Kansas State in their animal science program. He stayed there until his retirement in 2021.
Neil's true passions will always be his kittens.
Neil is survived by his loving wife, Angelina and his kittens.
