Donald Neal—The Pacific Grove community is grieving the loss of Donald Neal, a cherished father, and dedicated member of the Monterey community. Donald passed away recently, leaving behind a legacy of love for nature, his family, and his work.
Donald was known for his passion for fishing, where he practiced "Catch and Release," ensuring that others could enjoy the same pleasures of the sport. His love for the outdoors was matched by his dedication to his work with the City of Monterey, particularly his role in maintaining the Defense Language Institute and the Colton Hall Museum, a place close to his heart.
In his memory, Donald’s daughter, Lucia Neal, has organized a fundraiser to help cover immediate expenses related to his funeral and memorial. The fundraiser has garnered $300 out of a $3,500 goal from six kind donors. Lucia expressed her gratitude for the support and shared that any unused funds will be donated to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation and the Monterey Museums, continuing Donald’s legacy of caring for the environment and the community.
The family has not yet set a date for the memorial service, but updates will be provided in due course. The outpouring of support and shared memories from the community has been a source of comfort during this difficult time.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Donald Neal’s family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you navigate through this loss.
