Lolita – Howard Wayne Neal has exited his rickety old body, having lived twice as long as he expected and way longer then he deserved. He passed on September 11, 2016, at 74 years old. He often wished in his later years that he had not treated his body like a Tavern. Wayne never met a man he didn't want to Indian leg wrestle, or play mercy with. Mainly because he was an ornery ole bastard He was a modest man who very seldom bragged about all of his treasures on Facebook. By the Way, who the hell taught him about Facebook? He was considered the best concrete contractor in all of Texas, and if you ever doubted him, you could ask anyone that endured the hours of one more and we will call it a night at Wayne's Hurricane Bar. Proceeded in death by his wife Carolyn (mainly because she had enough of his shenanigans), son Christopher Wayne Neal, mother Irene, father Harold, brother Jim, and sister Candy. He is survived by his favorite son Buddy and another kid, some grandchildren, a few more great grandchildren, a trilogy of brothers, and one sister. He had a passion for old cars, scotch, his construction company, scotch, travel, and oh yeah scotch. Did we mention scotch? He will be missed by many and remembered by all who knew him. Funeral service will be held on Saturday, September 17, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. in the Oaklawn Funeral Home Chapel in Edna. Burial to follow in the Lolita Cemetery in Lolita. Jim Munro will be officiating. Pallbearers will be Mike Neal, Rodney Neal, Steve Neal, Kenny Love, David Rutherford, and Marc Neal.

We lost an amazing young man who was a wonderful husband, a loving father, a great son, a caring brother, a best friend, and a hard worker. As we lay him down to rest with heavy hearts and tears in our eyes, he will forever live on in our memories and be dearly missed.
