Wallace Jackson "Jack" Neal
August 14, 1948 ~ April 23, 2018
Wallace Jackson “Jack” Neal, 69, of Nashville, went to be with the Lord on April 23, 2018, after more than a two-year battle with cancer.
Jack was the son of Stanley and Ida Mohorn Neal. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brothers, George Neal, Stanley Neal and Charles Neal; and sister-in-law, Janet Sload.
He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Joyce Neal; daughters, Tammie Diane Perry (Mike) and Jackie Neal Webb (Phillip); sons, Brian Travis Edwards and William Randolph Edwards (Kristen); grandchildren, John Marvin Hinton III (Katelyn), Savannah Neal, Casey Webb, Mercedes Perry, Layla Webb, Olivia Edwards, Elia Edwards, Reis Edwards; great-grandchild, Natalie Hinton; brother Perry Neal; sisters, Barbara Fox, Ida Knecht (Tom) and Carolyn Rose (Roy); sisters-in-law, Judy Batchelor and Jo Anne Cooper (Mike); several nieces and nephews and a host of very special friends.
Jack was a US Army Veteran and served in the Army Reserve. After a 22-year career at Abbott Labs, he started his own home repair business which he operated for many years serving residents of Nash County. He also had a passion for restoring old cars. Jack loved life and he loved his family. He was a genuine friend to many people and never met a stranger.
The family would like to thank Nash Hospice, family and friends, for the kindness and love shown during Jacks illness.

I didnt get to spend much time with my Uncle Jack but the little bit of time we had together made a big impression on me. He seemed like a wonderful man with an absolutely effervescent personality. Sending condolences to my Aunt Joyce all of my cousins and relatives who are experiencing this loss. –Pamela Fox (niece in Texas)
Joyce & family, We are so sorry to hear of Jacks passing. He was such a great guy, always willing to help out wherever he was needed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. Bob & Jan Lane
Joyce, my prayers are with you and your family at this time. I have known Jack for a long time and he has always been a true professional and friend. I look at my house and my moms and can remember all the help he gave us. Im sure he and Bennett are having the best conversation now. They would talk for hours when he was working on our house. Please let me know if you need anything or if you just want to talk. I understand how your last few months have been and will be here for you.
Joyce, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

We are all so saddened by your loss, our prayers go out to you and your family.
Jack was much more than a home repairman that I called when I needed a project done. He was very conscientious in his skill, and he was more of a friend than a contractor. I will miss his fellowship and funny stories. I knew what Jack was going through, but he continued to work on and didnt show the pain I knew he was dealing with. He will be missed by my wife and I and many more. Steve and Cathy Brower

Jack was my Supervisor at Abbott for several years. We were a lot alike so everyone said we would never get along but were proven wrong. I enjoyed working for Jack and offer my sympathy to Joyce and the family. Stephen Modlin. Chocowinity, N.C.
