Joseph Neal Roland

Joseph Neal Roland, 69, went to be with his Savior on April 2, 2025. Neal was born on January 23, 1956, to the late Joseph and Clara Roland. Neal was also preceded in death by his in-laws Lawrence and Vangie McGee. Those left to cherish his memory are his wife of 44 years, Cynthia M. Roland, his son Joseph Scott Roland and wife Hannah, grandsons Bryson I. Dorsey, Joseph J. Roland, Ethan S. Main, and step granddaughter Gracie Nephewer, brother James Roland, nieces Stacy Roland and Kathy Burkland and nephew Matthew Roland and many cousins and friends.

Neal retired from Hancock & Moore, where he worked in the sample department, making furniture samples. He also worked in various supervisory positions as well as plant manager positions in other furniture plants during his career.

Neal was an avid fisherman who loved crappy fishing. He also enjoyed hunting in his younger years, but fishing was his passion. Neal was Mr. Fixit, he could fix anything. Neal loved his family and was a very good provider. He spent his retirement years fishing, gardening, mowing grass, and being outside.

He is greatly loved and will be deeply missed by family and friends.

A celebration of life service will be held at a later date.

Evans Funeral Service is honored to serve the family of Joseph Roland.
