June 26, 1959 — January 4, 2024

Floyd Norman McNeal III


Floyd Norman "BG" McNeal age 64, of Alliance, Ohio passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, January 4, 2024 in his home. BG was born on June 26, 1959, in Detroit Michigan, to Floyd Norman McNeal and Marjorie Ann McNeal.


BG was a proud graduate of Canton McKinley Sr. High School class of 1978, where he was a hard-hitting Bulldog football player. After high school, he served his country aboard the USS Forrestal in the United States Navy, where he joined the boxing program, and his shipmates nicknamed him "Mello Yello". After his return home he was employed at Republic Steel, then pursued employment as a maintenance manager for Public Housing.


BG enjoyed the simple pleasures of life like spending time with family and friends, playing monopoly, dominos (bones), and spades. He had an uncanny ability to reach people in a deep and positive way. Through his infectious smile, warm embrace, and his genuine love for everyone. His legacy of joy and compassion will forever remain etched in our memories.


Floyd is preceded in death by his loving mother, Marjorie Ann McNeal; grandparents, Floyd and Carrie McNeal, Robert and Fannie Young; and nephew, Jewel C. Jackson. Floyd leaves to cherish his warm and loving memory; father, Floyd Norman (Delores) McNeal II; sister, Deborah (Clarence) Jackson; brothers, Bryan McNeal, Avery McNeal, Timothy (Jeanne) McNeal; nieces and nephews, Jessica (Michael) Pifer, Julian Jackson, Timothy McNeal, Kyle McNeal, Miranda McNeal, Haley (Alex) Meisner, Hayden Smith; and 5 great nieces; 3 great nephews; and a host of very special cousins and friends.
