Abram Micah Neas

March 11, 1982 - November 1, 2020

Eulogy for Abram Neas Abram was born in March of 1983, we should have known by his entrance into the world, that he was always going to be something special. Abram decided to surprise everyone and arrive two weeks early. This is a perfect illustration of the person Abe would be. Abe always did things on his timeline and his own way. He was uniquely and wonderfully him no matter what. He inspired others to also be uniquely themselves too. Abe was always curious about the world and loved to read anything. He had knowledge about many subjects and educated himself on anything he wanted to learn about. Abe was curious from the beginning and loved to explore the world. Sometimes to his parent’s dismay, he got into everything and anything, often things he was not supposed to. One time he decided to go downstairs in the middle of the night and eat butter, because well, he was hungry, and he thought it was cheese. When Abe’s mom found him, he looked at her and said, “eat Mommy, eat.” Abe had a big smile, you could not miss those dimples, but he had an even bigger heart. When our family got a dog, Katy, one Christmas, Abe was really the one who took care of her and loved her. This carried into adulthood as Abe had a dog that he rescued that was the light of his life. He loved his dog Ayla so much and she adored him. Abe also had a job that he loved where he had the opportunity to be with adults who had developmental delays. Abe loved this job and spoke of those that he cared of often. It brought him great joy and we know that he also gave everyone he worked with love and joy as well. You really cannot talk about Abe without talking about music and art. Abe has always been passionate about music forever. He loved playing the guitar and singing. His happy place was playing his guitar and his going to concerts. He also loved to draw and would gift his drawings to anyone he loved. They were special drawings that he would customize for each person and spend hours perfecting. We know it made him happy when he gave one of his drawings to people. Abe loved his family fiercely. He would do anything for any of them. He took great pride in being a son, a brother, and an uncle. He adored his niece and his nephews. He would often share how being an uncle was the best role ever. Abram was a special person with great passion. If you knew Abe, you probably had a debate with him about any subject. He loved to talk and have real conversations with people about various subjects. He also loved to give hugs and gave great ones. Abe was Abe, always and forever. “And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love, you make.” We love you Abe, thank you for the light and gifts you shared with all of us.
