Neil Popper, age 79, passed away peacefully at Mission Hospital on October 10, 2025. Born on May 21, 1946, Neil was the beloved son of the late Bernard and Fanny LaRosa Popper. He was preceded in death by his brothers Bernard, Allen, and Raymond Popper.

Neil is survived by his devoted lifelong love of 46 years, Doris Kelly Popper, whose love and companionship were the cornerstone of his life. He also leaves behind two cherished nieces, Dina Popper and Heidi Popper; a nephew, Dennis Popper; and his loyal canine companion, Sprout.

A proud veteran of the United States Army, Neil carried his service with quiet dignity. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life antiquing with Doris, teeing off at Mill Creek Country Club, and sharing stories with loved ones. His warmth, humor, and steadfast spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

At this time, no formal services are planned for Mr. Popper.
