Willie Anthony Neal, 65, passed away on June 19th, 2025. Willie was born in Greenville, South Carolina, on October 2, 1959, to Deloris Neal and Ralph Fleming. He graduated from Mifflin High School in 1979. He later met the love of his life, his wife Christine, and they got to share 39 amazing years of marriage.
A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, he was, but nothing came close to the love he had for The Lord. He was a faithful and loyal member of the United Bible Missionary Church for 20-plus years. He loved to read his bible and pray. He was a true prayer warrior.
Willie is survived by his wife, Christine Neal, three daughters, Cassandra, Stephanie, and Nicole (Demetrius Loveless). Grandchildren Shanetta, Shanta, Christina, Aryc, and Elijah. Great Grandchildren: Shandaretta Shandae, Shawnae Christian. His brothers Jason (Nisecy) Fleming, Collin ( Tiffanie) Boyd, and David Neal. His sisters are Pamela Boyd and Sandra Glenn. He proceeded in death with his mother and father, Ralph Fleming and Deloris Neal.
Willie will always be remembered for not only the love of his family but also his love for God. He would always say a man is supposed to provide and pray for their family, and he did just that! Willie worked at DCSC for 15 years until he was unable to work anymore.
Paw, we hate to say goodbye, and you will forever be missed. We know those golden gates were opened and the angels welcomed you in. We love you always and forever.
