Richard was born in Akron, Ohio on December 7, 1949. He attended Akron Public Schools and graduated from Hower Vocational High School where he excelled in commercial art. He worked at Akron General Hospital for over 30 years, where he was a Lead Painter in the Maintenance Dept.  Richard was an exceptional artist who truly enjoyed painting pictures of people and things close to his heart, and giving them away to family and close friends. He also enjoyed (and was really good at) grilling for the family, fishing, gardening, and photography.

Richard was the neighborhood dad, and a positive role model who had a true impact on the lives of the people that knew him. Richard was preceded in death by (Mother) Magnolia Neeley, and (Brothers) Clarence E. Neeley, and Frank Neeley, Jr.

He is survived by his wife Katie Neeley; brother Sylvester Neeley; children: Richard (Angie) Neeley, Jr.; Angela Neeley; Kevin (Megan) Neeley.
