Jeffrey Dean Neblett, age 45, of Raleigh, NC passed away on January 13, 2014 after a brief but very difficult battle with cancer. Jeff was born in Baltimore, MD. He is survived by his loving wife, Katherine Baker Neblett and his two beloved daughter; Emily and Abigail, all of Raleigh. Jeff’s loving mother, Sandra Dean McKoy, recently predeceased him, and his devoted stepfather, Joseph E. McKoy, continues to reside in Chocowinity, NC. Additional survivors are Jeff’s father, Carroll F. Neblett and step-mother, Anne M. Neblett of Chesterfield, VA; half-brother Evan B. Neblett of Newport News, VA, and step-sisters Jennifer A. Turns and Leslie C. Franklin. Jeff grew up in Prince George County, Virginia and graduated as valedictorian from Prince George High School. He attended the University of Virginia where he earned highest honors in both undergraduate and master’s degrees in Systems Engineering. In 1998, Jeff joined SAS, Inc. in Cary, NC as a Senior Software Developer and worked in SAS internal workflow systems and was a vital and highly respected employee in his area. Jeff was a very knowledgeable stamp and coin collector for many years and maintained and enjoyed his extensive stamp collection. He also was an avid sports fan and loved to follow his UVA Cavaliers in all their athletic events. In addition, Jeff was a leader in many charitable activities and was very active in the Raleigh Jaycees, and was real activist for the Raleigh GoodFellows project. Jeff was loved and respected by everyone who had the good fortune to know him.

I will always look back fondly to the day I met you and Jeff at the home on Gresham Lake in North Raleigh. Both of you were so excited to see the house you left Emily and I in the foyer while the two of you went off in different directions . I didnt let you get to far however when I shouted I think you forgot someone.

I haven't crossed paths with Jeff for awhile, but when he first joined Vanguard in Greensboro we worked together. I appreciated his willingness to try new things, his commitment, and his interest in the members if our team. Jeff always tried to do the right thing. Keeping his family and friends in our prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Neblett family and friends during this difficult time. I worked with Jeff and Tom at Vanguard/Teleflex. I haven't done a very good job keeping up with folks because I always think, there is plenty of time to get together at some point. May we all remember time in this place is very short and for some its a blink of an eye. Even though Jeff's time here was like the blink of an eye, his impact is everlasting.
