Neal Smith

Heaven gained an exceptional angel on Saturday, December 19, 2020. Neal Smith, 62, passed away peacefully at Taylor House Hospice from advanced Parkinson’s-MSA. Neal was the son of Larry and Sally (Crouch) Smith.

Neal was an avid Iowa Hawkeye fan, he enjoyed bird watching and hunting, trains and indulging in any type of sweets – especially ice cream. He loved the weather and his 2nd unpaid “job” was a meteorologist. He worked at MidAmerican Energy for almost 30 years. But above all, he treasured time spent with his family, especially cheering on his girls at their many activities throughout the years.
