Gregory Neppl

Gregory A. Neppl, age 54, of Underwood, MN died Tuesday, October 5, 2010 at his home after a courageous battle with cancer.

Gregory Allen Neppl was born on June 29, 1956 to Kenneth and Neva (Ellsworth) Neppl in Breckenridge, Minnesota. He grew up on a dairy farm by Kent, Minnesota and continued to farm with his dad after graduating from Breckenridge High School in 1974. He was later employed with Beyer Farms and then Vern Ulven Farms.

Greg married Candace Jorgenson Anderson on March 22, 1991 in Watertown, South Dakota. Greg attended Detroit Lakes Technical School in the heating & cooling program for two years. He then went to work for Ripley's Inc of Erhard, MN.  He was employed there for seventeen years until he was unable to work due to his battle with cancer.

Greg was happiest when he was able to spend time at home with his family and friends.  He especially treasured the time spent with his grandchildren.  Hunting, camping and any time spent putzing around in his work shed also provided many valuable memories. Greg was known for always helping anyone who needed help.  He was a member of the Messiah Lutheran Church in Underwood, MN.
