Thomas Neelon Obituary
1944-2012
Tom Neelon, age 67, passed away peacefully in the early morning on February 23 after a grueling 2-year battle with cancer.
Born November 14, 1944, in Hollywood, CA. Tom was a resident of Santa Clarita for over 20 years before he retired to Northern Idaho 8 years ago. He worked as an Allstate Insurance agent and volunteered at the local hospital. He was a man of faith, character and compassion.
He is survived by his loving wife of 27 years, Rita; his six children: Jamie, Jessica, Rebecca, Katherine, Nathaniel and Clairelise; three grandsons: Owen, Luke and Andrew; his siblings: Michael, Karen, Arlene and Gregory.
His family wrote, " Tom gave all he had to those around him and was always so generous with his time and listening ear. May his kind heart and love for others always be remembered and mirrored."
A Celebration of Life service will be held Saturday March 31, 2:00pm at Desert Streams Church, 26873 Ruether Ave, Canyon Country, 91351.
