On October 27, 1925 Matthew John Neppel was born to Max and Rose Neppel in a little farmhouse not far from Willey, Iowa. Matt was five of seven children and would often talk about growing up on the farm and he loved reminiscing and telling stories about his life.
At age twenty, Matt was drafted and proud to have served in the United States Army.
Matt and the love of his life, Lois Hamers Neppel, were married on September 13, 1947 at St. Peter & Paul Church. Matt and Lois had eight children together Craig (Joanie), Vicki (Ned), Cathy, Becky (Pat), Ron (Karen), Scott (Cathy), Lisa (Marty), and Lori who all contributed to a full head of gray hair and sleepless nights.
Matt became an extremely successful oil jobber in 1956 and developed his business which came to be known as Neppel Oil Co. He had an unparalleled work ethic until the day that he retired in 1993. There were many “take your grandchildren to work days” at the station where Matt would put his grandchildren (and adult children) to work and repay them in Pepsi Cola and candy from behind the counter.
In retirement, Matt would often be seen golfing, having coffee with his buddies, playing cards at the Moose Lodge, taking trips, and spending time with family. He was immensely proud of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and spent as much time as he could with them from teaching them to drive in the cornfields, fishing at Swan Lake, beating them at Euchre, and even allowing them to occasionally paint his toenails.
Matt was called home and reunited with his Euchre partner after cashing in his quarters of a life well-lived on Tuesday, March 13, 2018 at the Swan Place in Carroll. Every day with Matt was a day to remember and he will be greatly missed. Matt was a member of the Carroll American Legion and St. Lawrence Church in Carroll.
Matt is survived by his children: Craig (Joanie) Neppel, Vicki (Ned) Dean, Cathy Neppel, Becky (Pat) Arts, Ron (Karen) Neppel, Scott (Cathy) Neppel, and Lisa (Marty) Danzer; 20 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren; his sisters, Arlene Dalhoff and Agnes Stoolman; and his sister-in-law, Orsola Neppel; as well as other extended relatives and many friends.
Matt is preceded in death by his parents; his loving wife, Lois Neppel; his daughter, Lori Eischeid; and his siblings: Arby Neppel, Ralph Neppel, Melvin Neppel, and Isabelle Feld.
