Obituary for Neil Percy Witte
We are deeply saddened to announce the untimely passing of Neil Percy Witte on June 24,
2019. Neil was 34 and his young life was ended far too soon.
Neil Witte was born in Newton, New Jersey to Lou and Judy Witte and was the oldest of three
children. He also had two step brothers.
Neil successfully completed the Operating Engineers Apprenticeship program through Local
627. This allowed him to operate many different pieces of heavy equipment. This was in
addition to many other certifications that he had completed.
Neil was an eleven year employee of Northwest Crane, working his way up through the ranks to
being an operator of a 350 ton crane. He was well liked and greatly respected by everyone he
worked with and his presence will be truly missed.
Neil and Jennifer met in New Jersey in 2005. Jennifer’s family moved to Oklahoma City and Neil
followed. They were married on August 4, 2007 and have two sons, Evan and Jaxson. They
have made the Oklahoma City area their home for the past 14 years.
Neil was a man that enjoyed the simple things in life. He loved his wife and children very much.
He enjoyed the outdoors and riding 4-Wheeler’s with his family and watching Monster Trucks.
Both were a passion that he shared with his family and one’s they will continue to enjoy in his
memory.
Neil is survived by his loving wife, Jennifer and their two young sons Evan and Jaxson; father
and mother, Lou and Judy Witte of Newton, NJ; sisters Lu Ann Freeman of Middletown, NY and
Elizabeth Witte of Adams, MA; step brothers, Keith Witte and Kenney Witte. He will be greatly
missed, but will always be remembered by all those whose life he touched.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 29 at the Vondel L. Smith & Sons Mortuary. In
lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Go Fund Me Account that has been established
to assist his widow and children.
