Obituary

Jon Owen Neunsinger, age 73 of McKinney, Texas passed away on October 8, 2014.  Jon was born March 21st 1941 at 2:00 AM to Frank and Verna (Johnson) Neunsinger. His mother Verna died during child birth. His mother’s sister Bea and her husband Phil Erickson moved in with Frank to help care for baby Jon. On June 27th 1942, Jon’s father Frank married Isabelle Millward. On January 15th 1944 Jon’s half brother Bruce was born.

Jon spent his whole childhood at 4833 Zenith Ave So, Minneapolis MN. Jon was in Boy Scouts and attained the rank of Eagle Scout. Jon attended grade school at Fulton Elementary and then graduated from Southwest High School in Minneapolis on 6/12/1959.

Jon attended college at the U of M, transferred to Gustavus Adolphus and then to the University of Denver, Colorado, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration on 8/14/1964.
Jon then attained his MBA – Master’s Degree in Business – from the University of Denver on 6/12/1965.

Jon married his wife Carol in Denver and they were later divorced. Jon had two children, Amy and Anne Neunsinger.

Jon worked at the State of Colorado as an efficiency expert for a few years before he and his wife decided to try some independent ventures. After the divorce Jon started a business called Interiors Unlimited, selling window treatments, furniture and carpeting in Denver, Co.

Jon relocated to Texas around 1992 or 1993 and resided in Plano, TX. Jon reopened his business, Interiors Unlimited, in Texas. Jon decided to specialize in just window treatments at that time.

Jon belonged to numerous bridge clubs in Dallas and attended King of Kings Lutheran Church in Dallas where he was in the choir.

Jon’s dearest and closest friend both in Colorado and Texas since 1977, Betti C, shared these memories of Jon.
“In business Jon was very inventive and creative. His hobbies were skiing, golf and fishing. He was also an avid reader and photographer. He loved movies and built an exact replica model of the Titanic.

Jon loved to be around people and had excellent communication skills. He was always open to new adventures, had a great sense of humor and always had a positive, contagious attitude.

He loved his family and was proud of his Minnesota roots. He developed numerous friends in Texas. Some of his favorite times were traveling to Ft Worth, San Antonio, the Hill Country, being with animals (especially horses and dogs) and being involved in Texas history and politics.

Jon was a very loyal, thoughtful friend. He truly cared about people, was never judgmental and was very accepting and understanding of other’s situations – especially the elderly.

He made a positive impact on many that he met and will be missed. He left this world with a legacy of kindness and gentleness.”

Jon enjoyed coming home to Minneapolis for Christmas to be with family. Summer’s highlights were his trips to Minnesota to go fishing in Northern Minnesota with his brother Bruce and family. Jon loved to fish.

When Jon retired, in McKinney, TX, he spent time at his church and at the Senior Center playing bridge. Jon had recently started teaching bridge to seniors. On 9/12/2014 he received a Certificate of Recognition from the McKinney Senior Center.

Jon was found dead in his apartment on October 8th 2014. Jon will be missed by his family, good friend Betti C, his many friends at the Senior Center and his friends at the apartment complex.

Jon was cremated and his remains sent home to Minneapolis for a private service.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
