JOHN NEAL
McCAMMON – John Neal, 62, of McCammon and formerly of Malad, beloved husband, father and friend, returned to his Father in Heaven on September 19, 2000. He died of injuries sustained in a horseback riding accident.

He was born Oct. 11, 1937, in Malad, Idaho, a son of Archie Levi and Letha Frances Tubbs Neal. He was raised and educated in Holbrook and Malad. John served an LDS mission to the southern states.

On June 16, 1961, he married Mary Louise Hertzog in the Logan, Utah LDS Temple.

John farmed on the family farm near Holbrook and it was there that he and Mary raised their five children. John had also sold insurance for a living. For the past 15 years he and Mary had resided in McCammon.

John had a great love for the outdoors. He enjoyed riding horses, hunting, fishing, camping, vacationing and yard work. All these activities were enjoyed more if done with family and friends.
