Obituary For Allen Wayne McNeil

Allen Wayne McNeil, 64, lost his courageous battle with Melanoma on April 15, 2017.

Allen was born on January 10, 1953, in Wichita, KS to James A. McNeil and Juanita Grill-McNeil. His family moved to Yukon, OK in 1964. Allen graduated from Yukon High school in 1971, and entered the United States Marine Corps. He was a proud Marine who served with honor during the Vietnam War. He was honorably discharged and returned to Yukon in 1976. Allen married Katie Feuerborn, a Yukon native, on June 17, 1978 at St John Nepomuk Catholic Church.

Allen’s lifelong passion was the family farm in Mulhall, OK, where from early childhood he learned a deep appreciation for farming from his grandfather, George and father, Jim. Throughout his life, he continued to work the farm until his illness kept him from it. His happiest times were spent at the farm not only working but enjoying his hobbies, which included hunting, fishing, shooting. He also enjoyed riding his Harley Davidson. He was extremely proud to have killed a Boone & Crockett 18-point buck at the farm with his muzzle loader in 2014. He drove from Yukon to the farm several times a week, while working full time, for more than 40 years. His last visit to the farm was 9 days before he passed to hunt turkey with his friend James.

His family and friends knew Allen to be a devout Catholic. Allen was a member of St. John Nepomuk Catholic Church in Yukon. He served as a Lector, Communion Minister and as the Sacristan for the 10:30 am Sunday service. Allen was a third-degree Knight of Columbus. He was awarded the 2016 Pontifex Award for his many years of service to the church. He was faithful, loyal, and honest. He loved God, his family, and his country.

He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Katie (Feuerborn) McNeil; his son, David A. McNeil & Andrea, grandchildren, Audrey & Cullen; his daughter, Julie (McNeil) Abell & Emanuel, grandchildren, Matthew & Angela; sister, Terri (McNeil) Menser & Lewis; sister, Patricia Esty & Jimmie, as well as many more extended family members and friends. Allen was preceded in death by his father, mother, stepmother and grandparents.

The family extends their deepest gratitude to the doctors and nurses at the VA Medical Center Palliative Care Unit, Excell Hospice, St. John Nepomuk Catholic Church, Father Rex and Deacon Dan, and to all those who visited and/or prayed for him. A special thanks to his sister, Terri, who attended every doctor appointment and treatment over the last 2 ½ years and to his longtime best friend James Pace, who came daily to visit and keep his spirits up.

Here's the now century-old story of that fight for religious freedom: ... See MoreSee Less
