Jeffrey Lynn Neely, 62, formerly of Mishawaka, passed away on April 14, 2023, in Fishers, IN. Jeffrey was born to Roger Neely and Therese (Voorde) Gardener on July 12, 1960, in Elkhart, IN. He went on to work in the Michiana area RV industry, retail, and as a grounds keeper for Elcona Country Club.
Jeff is survived by his children, Kaelyn (Morgan Petty) Neely and Ethan Neely; mother, Therese Gardner; step-father, John Gardner; sisters, Brenda, Christine, Toni and Tracy and brother, Todd Neely; as well as many extended family members and friends. Jeff was preceded in death by his father, Roger Neely.
Jeff was an avid Notre Dame fan and loved to watch IU Basketball. He had a passion for bicycling and enjoyed trying his hand at fishing and golfing. If it had to do with being outside in the sunshine, you could count him in. Jeff had an eye for landscaping and gardening, making his kitchen full of fresh fruits and vegetables each season. He was a lifelong learner and was always willing to try new hobbies or activities. Jeff’s kind and generous spirit shone through in his endless hours of volunteer work with the elderly and contributions to fundraisers of all kinds. He was always happy to attend local events such as the 4H fair or art and music festivals.
