Normal-M. Kevin Neisler, 42, of Normal received his angel wings at 9:25 am on Sunday, June 21, 2015 at home after battling cancer for three years.
Kevin was born on June 29, 1972 in Normal, IL a son of Marshall and Nancy Talbert Neisler. He is survived by his mother Nancy Neisler of Normal; his father Marshall Neisler of Eureka; two siblings, Tricia (Mark) Hozie of Bloomington; Tim (Brynn) Neisler of El Paso; his nephew August Hozie; nieces Elizabeth Hozie, Ariana Lesher, Kendyl Cain, Harper Neisler, maternal grandmother Marjorie Talbert; two special aunts Bobbie Talbert of El Paso; Penny Stephens of Normal; two uncles Len (Dorthy) Neisler of Fisher, IN; Dave (Lori) Neisler of El Paso; and his dog Gus.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Harold and Ramona Neisler and maternal grandfather, F. Auburn Talbert.
Kevin was a joy to be around. His laughter was contagious along with his many talents of drawing, handyman work, and the ability to hold his own in a sports related conversation. He was an avid Cowboys and Cardinals fan giving his brother-in-law a tough time being a Cubs fan. After graduating he went to work for his father as a swine herdsmen and later set up a business with his brother briefly before being diagnosed with cancer.
His many cousins, friends and acquaintances feel blessed to have know him. He will be greatly missed.
