Richard Neeb Obituary

Richard "Jay" Neeb II, 73, of Columbus, passed from this life at 8:38 a.m. Sunday, July 20, 2025 at his home. Born November 30, 1951, in Shelbyville, Indiana, the son of Richard J. and Maurita Jean Green Neeb.

Jay is survived by his beloved wife, Beth Ann Neal, whom he married on April 21, 1994.

Survivors include his wife; children, Jill, Amy and Eric Neeb, Shane (Amy) Tempest, and Russell (Lindsey) Barr. He adored his grandchildren, Andrew (Maritza) Tempest, Lillian (Cory) Tempest, Henry Barr, and Samuel Barr; and his brothers, Mike (Kim) Neeb, Morris Neeb, and Scott (Laura) Neeb. Jay was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, David Neeb.

Jay's professional journey as a dedicated insurance agent led to his retirement following a respected and successful career.

His passing is a significant loss to all who knew him, yet his legacy of love, commitment, and integrity lives on.

In keeping with Jay's wishes, cremation will take place, and no services are planned at this time.

Memorial contributions may be made to Our Hospice of South Central Indiana.
