In Loving Memory of Weldon Paul Neeshan

Weldon Paul Neeshan, affectionately known as “Sarge,” passed away on January 3, 2024, at the age of 80. He was born on August 3, 1943, in Orient, OH, to proud parents Kenneth and Freda (nee McCafferty) Kreider. Weldon’s dedication to his country and his unwavering commitment to his family will forever be cherished.

Weldon proudly served in the United States Army for over 19 years. His time in the armed forces was a testament to his bravery and loyalty. He retired honorably in 1996, having made lasting friendships and touched the lives of those he served with. Weldon’s meticulous approach to his duties earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues.

Outside of his military service, Weldon had a zest for life. He had a passion for playing pool and could often be found in local pool halls, showcasing his skills and enjoying friendly competition. Weldon was appreciated for his warm and kind-hearted nature, making friends easily wherever he went.

In his later years, Weldon found solace and support in the Alcoholics Anonymous community. With over 20 years of sobriety, he embraced the fellowship and attended meetings whenever he felt the need for encouragement. His journey to recovery was an inspiration to others, and he served as a beacon of hope to those struggling with addiction.

Weldon is survived by his beloved daughters, Cindy (Bruce) Kreider, Paula (Donnie Ray) Justus, and Kelly (Timothy) Neeshan, 19 grandchildren and many extended relatives and friends. He was a devoted father who cherished every moment spent with his children. Weldon’s love and guidance shaped the lives of his daughters, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts.

In accordance with Weldon’s wishes, he will have a private family service and be laid to rest at Arlington Memorial Gardens.

Weldon Paul Neeshan will forever be remembered for his dedication to his country, zest for life, and strength of character. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
