Myron Neemann

July 11, 1937 - April 29, 2022

Myron Neemann, 84, of Lincoln passed away April 29, 2022. Born July 11, 1937, to Ferdinand and Laurine (Neubauer) Neemann in Nebraska City.

Myron lived there until he was 11 years old when his family moved to Lincoln. He lived in the same house until he moved to Legacy Terrace in 2019.
Myron served in the Nebraska Army National Guard for 8 years. He worked 42 years for State Farm working his way up from mailroom errand boy to the manager of the Monthly Payment Plan department. His license plate read Mr MPP. He coached volleyball and softball teams for State Farm.
Myron played softball on various city and church leagues for many years. He loved Nebraska sports and was season ticket holder for volleyball, basketball, and football for many years. He was an avid golfer and had a hole in one at the Iron Horse golf course in Ashland. Myron was a skilled bowler, usually playing on 3 leagues at one time. He bowled in National bowling tournaments several times. He followed the Kansas City Royals and enjoyed road trips with his brother, Sharon’s brother, and nephew. Those were some fun times especially when he played polka music.
Myron was very active and walked his neighborhood almost everyday and met many people on his way. He was devoted to the United Lutheran Church and to God. After retirement, he volunteered many hours directing the church’s Christian Education Committee.

Myron is preceded in death by his parents.

Survived by his brother and sister-in-law Allen and Sharon, niece Laura, nephew Craig (Becky), great nieces Jenny and Alicia, great nephews Casey (Jesika), Andrew and Tanner and great-great nephew and nieces Daniel, Jade and Sophia, and very special cousin Lois.

The family wishes to give thanks to the Legacy Terrace staff for making him feel at home and special thanks to the staff at Gateway Vista and St. Croix Hospice for the excellent loving care they gave Myron in his final months.

I played volleyball & softball for “many” years at State Farm with Myron as my coach & we always had a great time & good teams. I bowled in State Farm leagues for years with Myron too. Everyone at State Farm knew Myron & liked him. He was a good friend & a great person. RIP Myron.

I remember Myron as a quiet, well spoken man who did love his sports. He was just a good guy who always had a joke when you least expected one. I hadn’t seen Myron for decades, but I remember him well and his parents and brother. Good times were had when my parents and Myron’s got together for their card parties. Good times remembered.

Myron was a man who lived his faith. Always so kind to me and my daughters. Always asking about them when I saw him at church. You will be missed.

Myron and I worked in different departments at State Farm, but he was known to about everyone in the Lincoln office. Great personality and was very involved and respected at work—but also outside of the office with his bowling, golf and other activities. My deepest sympathies to “Mr. MPP’s” family.

Mr MPP ~ you were my supervisor in January 1971 till you retired! You tried to train me I’m sure with everything you knew and I thank you as it gave me a long career! You were the nicest most genuine supervisor I ever had. You sure made MPP a fun department to work in. You’ll be playing golf bowling and know you will love being with your parents again all living in the House of your Lord. Rest well, Boss. Pam & Ed
